5. Esau looked up and saw the women and children. He asked, “Who are these people with you?”Jacob answered, “These are the children God has given me. God has been good to me, your servant.”
6. Then the two slave girls and their children came up to Esau. They bowed down flat on the earth before him.
7. Then Leah and her children came up to Esau. They also bowed down flat on the earth. Last of all, Joseph and Rachel came up to Esau. And they, too, bowed down flat before him.
8. Esau said, “I saw many herds as I was coming here. Why did you bring them?”Jacob answered, “They were to please you, my master.”
9. But Esau said, “I already have enough, my brother. Keep what you have.”
10. Jacob said, “No! Please! If I have pleased you, then please accept the gift I give you. I am very happy to see your face again. It is like seeing the face of God because you have accepted me.
11. So I beg you to accept the gift I give you. God has been very good to me. And I have more than I need.” And because Jacob begged, Esau accepted the gift.
