Genesis 33:1-12

1And JacobH3290 lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and lookedH7200, and, behold, EsauH6215 cameH935, and with him fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376. And he dividedH2673 the childrenH3206 unto LeahH3812, and unto RachelH7354, and unto the twoH8147 handmaidsH8198.

2And he putH7760 the handmaidsH8198 and their childrenH3206 foremostH7223, and LeahH3812 and her childrenH3206 afterH314, and RachelH7354 and JosephH3130 hindermostH314.

3And he passed overH5674 before themH6440, and bowed himselfH7812 to the groundH776 sevenH7651 timesH6471, until he came nearH5066 to his brotherH251.

4And EsauH6215 ranH7323 to meet himH7125, and embracedH2263 him, and fellH5307 on his neckH6677, and kissed himH5401: and they weptH1058.

5And he lifted upH5375 his eyesH5869, and sawH7200 the womenH802 and the childrenH3206; and saidH559, Who are thoseH428 with thee? And he saidH559, The childrenH3206 which GodH430 hath graciously givenH2603 thy servantH5650.1

6Then the handmaidensH8198 came nearH5066, they and their childrenH3206, and they bowed themselvesH7812.

7And LeahH3812 also with her childrenH3206 came nearH5066, and bowed themselvesH7812: and afterH310 cameH5066 JosephH3130 nearH5066 and RachelH7354, and they bowedH7812 themselves.

8And he saidH559, What meanest thou by all this droveH4264 which I metH6298? And he saidH559, These are to findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.2

9And EsauH6215 saidH559, I haveH3426 enoughH7227, my brotherH251; keep that thou hast unto thyself.3

10And JacobH3290 saidH559, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have foundH4672 graceH2580 in thy sightH5869, then receiveH3947 my presentH4503 at my handH3027: for therefore I have seenH7200 thy faceH6440, as though I had seenH7200 the faceH6440 of GodH430, and thou wast pleased with meH7521.

11TakeH3947, I pray thee, my blessingH1293 that is broughtH935 to thee; because GodH430 hath dealt graciously with meH2603, and becauseH3605 I haveH3426 enoughH3605. And he urgedH6484 him, and he tookH3947 it.4

12And he saidH559, Let us take our journeyH5265, and let us goH3212, and I will goH3212 before thee.
