Genesis 33:5-15

5He raisedH5375 his eyesH5869 and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206, and saidH559, “1WhoH4310 are theseH428 with you?” So he saidH559, “2The childrenH3206 whomH834 GodH430 has graciouslyH2603 givenH2603 your servantH5650.” 6Then the slaveH8198 womenH8198 cameH5066 forwardH5066 3with their childrenH3206, and they bowedH2331 downH2331. 7And LeahH3812 likewiseH1571 cameH5066 forwardH5066 with her childrenH3206, and they bowedH2331 downH2331; and afterwardH310 JosephH3130 cameH5066 forwardH5066 with RachelH7354, and they bowedH2331 downH2331. 8And he saidH559, “WhatH4310 do you mean by 4allH3605 thisH2088 companyH4264 whichH834 I have metH6298?” And he saidH559, “5To findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.” 9But EsauH6215 saidH559, “6I 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 acceptH3947 my giftH4503 from my handH3027, 7for I seeH7200 your faceH6440 as one seesH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and you have receivedH7521 me favorablyH7521. 11PleaseH4994 acceptH3947 my 89giftH1293 whichH834 has been broughtH935 to you, 10becauseH3588 GodH430 has dealtH2603 graciouslyH2603 with me and becauseH3588 I haveH3426 11plentyH3605.” So he urgedH6484 him, and he acceptedH3947 it.

12Then 12Esau saidH559, “Let’s journeyH5265 onH5265 and goH1980, and I will goH1980 aheadH5048 of you.” 13But he saidH559 to him, “My lordH113 knowsH3045 that the childrenH3206 are frailH7390 and that the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 that are nursingH5763 are 13a matterH5921 ofH5921 concernH5921 to me. And if they are drivenH1849 hardH1849 just oneH259 dayH3117, allH3605 the flocksH6629 will dieH4191. 14PleaseH4994 let my lordH113 passH5674 onH5674 aheadH6440 of his servantH5650, and I will proceedH5095 at my leisureH328, at the paceH7272 of the cattleH4399 that are aheadH6440 of me and at the paceH7272 of the childrenH3206, untilH5704H834 I comeH935 to my lordH113 at 14SeirH8165.”

15Then EsauH6215 saidH559, “PleaseH4994 let me leaveH3322 with you someH4480 of the peopleH5971 whoH834 are with me.” But he saidH559, “15WhatH4100 need is there? 16Let me findH4672 favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.”
