*
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 .
*
And he said unto him ,
My lord knoweth that the children are tender ,
and the flocks and herds with young are with me :
and if men should overdrive them one day ,
all the flock will die .
*
Let my lord ,
I pray thee ,
pass over before his servant :
and I will lead on softly ,
according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure ,
until I come unto my lord unto Seir Se #

*
And Esau said ,
Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me .
And he said ,
What needeth it ?
let me find grace in the sight of my lord .

So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir Se #
