Genesis 33:1-12

1Then Jacob raised his eyes and looked, and behold, 1Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children 2among Leah and Rachel, and the two slave women. 2He put the slave women and their children 3in front, and Leah and her children 4next, and Rachel and Joseph 5last. 3But he himself passed on ahead of them and 6bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and 7fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5He raised his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, “8Who are these with you?” So he said, “9The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6Then the slave women came forward 10with their children, and they bowed down. 7And Leah likewise came forward with her children, and they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came forward with Rachel, and they bowed down. 8And he said, “What do you mean by 11all this company which I have met?” And he said, “12To find favor in the sight of my lord.” 9But Esau said, “13I 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 accept my gift from my hand, 14for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably. 11Please accept my 1516gift which has been brought to you, 17because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have 18plenty.” So he urged him, and he accepted it.

12Then 19Esau said, “Let’s journey on and go, and I will go ahead of you.”
