Genesis 33:5-15

5He lifted his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, “1Who are these with you?” So he said, “2The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6Then the maids came near 3with their children, and they bowed down. 7Leah likewise came near with her children, and they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed down. 8And he said, “What do you mean by 4all this company which I have met?” And he said, “5To find favor in the sight of my lord.” 9But Esau said, “6I have plenty, my brother; let what you have be your own.” 10Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, 7for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably. 11Please take my 89gift which has been brought to you, 10because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have 11plenty.” Thus he urged him and he took it.

12Then 12Esau said, “Let us take our journey and go, and I will go before you.” 13But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are 13a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die. 14Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at 14Seir.”

15Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “15What need is there? 16Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
