Genesis 33:1-12

1Then JacobH3290 liftedH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, 1EsauH6215 was comingH935, and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 with him. So he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 2amongH5921 LeahH3812 and RachelH7354 and the twoH8147 maidsH8198. 2He putH7760 the maidsH8198 and their childrenH3206 3in frontH7223, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 4nextH314, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 5lastH314. 3But he himselfH1931 passedH5674 on aheadH6440 of them and 6bowedH7812 downH7812 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, untilH5704 he cameH5066 nearH5066 to his brotherH251.

4Then EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meetH7122 him and embracedH2263 him, and 7fellH5307 on his neckH6677 and kissedH5401 him, and they weptH1058. 5He liftedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206, and saidH559, “8WhoH4310 are theseH428 with you?” So he saidH559, “9The childrenH3206 whomH834 GodH430 has graciouslyH2603 givenH2603 your servantH5650.” 6Then the maidsH8198 cameH5066 nearH5066 10with their childrenH3206, and they bowedH7812 downH7812. 7LeahH3812 likewiseH1571 cameH5066 nearH5066 with her childrenH3206, and they bowedH7812 downH7812; and afterwardH310 JosephH3130 cameH5066 nearH5066 with RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 downH7812. 8And he saidH559, “WhatH4310 do you mean by 11allH3605 thisH2088 companyH4264 whichH834 I have metH6298?” And he saidH559, “12To findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.” 9But EsauH6215 saidH559, “13I haveH3426 plentyH7227, my brotherH251; let whatH834 you haveH1961 be your own.” 10JacobH3290 saidH559, “NoH408, pleaseH4994, ifH518 nowH4994 I have foundH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869, then takeH3947 my presentH4503 from my handH3027, 14for I seeH7200 your faceH6440 as one seesH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and you have receivedH7521 me favorablyH7521. 11PleaseH4994 takeH3947 my 1516giftH1293 whichH834 has been broughtH935 to you, 17becauseH3588 GodH430 has dealtH2603 graciouslyH2603 with me and becauseH3588 I haveH3426 18plentyH3605.” Thus he urgedH6484 him and he tookH3947 it.

12Then 19Esau saidH559, “Let us takeH5265 our journeyH5265 and goH1980, and I will goH1980 beforeH5048 you.”
