Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
2
And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3
Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4
But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5
And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, "Who are these with you?" So he said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6
Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down.
7
And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.
8
Then Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" And he said, "These are to find favor in the sight of my lord."
