Genesis 33:5-15

5His eyes glanced up and he saw the women and the children, and said, “Who are these with you?” “The children whom God has graciously given your servant,” he said.

6Then the female servants approached, they and their children, and bowed down.

7Leah also approached, along with her children, and they bowed down, and finally, Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.

8“What do you mean by this whole caravan that I’ve met?” So he said, “To find favor in your eyes, my lord.”

9But Esau said, “I have plenty! O my brother, do keep all that belongs to you.”

10Yet Jacob said, “No, please! If I have found favor in your eyes, then you will take my offering from my hand. For this is the reason I’ve seen your face—it is like seeing the face of God—and you’ve accepted me!

11Please, take my blessing that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me, and because I have everything.” So he kept urging him until he accepted.

12Then he said, “Let’s journey and be on our way, and I’ll go ahead of you.

13He continued, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and the cattle in my care are nursing. So if they were pushed hard just one day, all the flocks would die.

14Please, let my lord pass on ahead of your servant, and I’ll move on further gradually, at a pace suited to the livestock that are before me and at a pace suited to the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.”

15Then Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What’s this? Let me find favor in my lord’s eyes.”
