Genesis 33:1-11

Jacob Meets Esau

1And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, aEsau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two female servants. 2And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all. 3He himself went on before them, bbowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4 cBut Esau ran to meet him and embraced him dand fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5And when Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, “Who are these with you?” Jacob said, e“The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6Then the servants drew near, they and their children, and bowed down. 7Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down. And last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down. 8Esau said, “What do you mean by fall this company

that I met?” Jacob answered, h“To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.” 10Jacob said, “No, please, if I have found favor in your sight, then accept my present from my hand. iFor I have seen your face, which is like seeing the face of God, and you have accepted me. 11Please accept my jblessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” Thus he kurged him, and he took it.
