*
And Jacob lifted up his eyes ,
and looked ,
and ,
behold ,
Esau came ,
and with him four hundred men .
And he divided the children unto Leah ,
and unto Rachel ,
and unto the two handmaids .
*
And he put the handmaids and their children foremost ,
and Leah and her children after ,
and Rachel and Joseph hindermost .
*
And he passed over before them ,
and bowed himself to the ground seven times ,
until he came near to his brother .
*
And Esau ran to meet him ,
and embraced him ,
and fell on his neck ,
and kissed him :
and they wept .
*
And he lifted up his eyes ,
and saw the women and the children ;
and said ,
Who are those with thee ?
And he said ,
The children which God hath graciously given thy servant .
*
Then the handmaidens came near ,
they and their children ,
and they bowed themselves .
*
And Leah also with her children came near ,
and bowed themselves :
and after came Joseph near and Rachel ,
and they bowed themselves .
*
And he said ,
What meanest thou by all this drove which I met ?
And he said ,
These are to find grace in the sight of my lord .
*
And Esau said ,
I have enough ,
my brother ;
keep that thou hast unto thyself .
*
And Jacob said ,
Nay ,
I pray thee ,
if now I have found grace in thy sight ,
then receive my present at my hand :
for therefore I have seen thy face ,
as though I had seen the face of God ,
and thou wast pleased with me .
*
Take ,
I pray thee ,
my blessing that is brought to thee ;
because God hath dealt graciously with me ,
and because I have enough .
And he urged him ,
and he took it .
*
And he said ,
Let us take our journey ,
and let us go ,
and I will go before thee .
