7. And Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

8. And he said, What meanest thou by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the sight of my lord.

9. And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; let that which thou hast be thine.

10. And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found favor in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand; forasmuch as I have seen thy face, as one seeth the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.

11. Take, I pray thee, my gift 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.

12. And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.

13. And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
