Genesis 33:3-11

3And he passed on before them, and bowed to the earth seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him; and they wept.

5And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with thee? And he said, The children that 1God has graciously given thy servant.

6And the maidservants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed.

7And Leah also, with her children, drew near, and they bowed. And lastly Joseph drew near, and Rachel, and they bowed.

8And he said, What [meanest] thou by all the drove which I met? And he said, To find favour in the eyes of my lord.

9And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let what thou hast be thine.

10And Jacob said, No, I pray thee; if now I have found favour in thine eyes, then receive my gift from my hand; for therefore have I seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of 2God, and thou hast received me with pleasure.

11Take, I pray thee, my blessing which has been brought to thee; because 3God has been gracious to me, and because I have everything. And he urged him, and he took [it].
