Genesis 33:1-11

1And JacobH3290 liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and behold, EsauH6215 was comingH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he distributed the childrenH3206 to LeahH3812, and to RachelH7354, and to the twoH8147 maidservantsH8198:

2and he putH7760 the maidservantsH8198 and their childrenH3206 foremost, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 after, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindmost.

3And he passedH5674 on before them, and bowedH7812 to the earthH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, until he came near to his brotherH251.

4And EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meet him, and embracedH2263 him, and fellH5307 on his neckH6677, and kissedH5401 him; and they weptH1058.

5And he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206, and saidH559, Who are these with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 that 1GodH430 has graciously given thy servantH5650.

6And the maidservantsH8198 drewH5066 near, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowedH7812.

7And LeahH3812 alsoH1571, with her childrenH3206, drewH5066 near, and they bowedH7812. And lastly JosephH3130 drewH5066 near, and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812.

8And he saidH559, What [meanest] thou by all the drove which I metH6298? And he saidH559, To findH4672 favour in the eyesH5869 of my lordH113.

9And EsauH6215 saidH559, I have enoughH7227, my brotherH251; let what thou hast beH1961 thine.

10And JacobH3290 saidH559, No, I pray thee; if now I have foundH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869, then receiveH3947 my giftH4503 from my handH3027; for thereforeH3651 have I seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 the faceH6440 of 2GodH430, and thou hast receivedH3947 me with pleasureH7521.

11TakeH3947, I pray thee, my blessingH1293 which has been broughtH935 to thee; because 3GodH430 has been gracious to me, and because I have everythingH3605. And he urged him, and he tookH3947 [it].
