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.

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.

14Let my lordH113, I pray thee, pass overH5674 beforeH6440 his servantH5650: and I will lead onH5095 softlyH328, according asH7272 the cattleH4399 that goeth before meH6440 and the childrenH3206 be able to endureH7272, until I comeH935 unto my lordH113 unto SeirH8165.5
15And EsauH6215 saidH559, Let me now leaveH3322 with thee some of the folkH5971 that are with me. And he saidH559, WhatH4100 needeth it? let me findH4672 graceH2580 in the sightH5869 of my lordH113.67
