1. And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked. And behold, Esau was coming and four hundred men were with him. And he divided the children among Leah and among Rachel, and among the two of his female servants.
2. And he put the female slaves and their children first, then Leah and her children next, then Rachel with Joseph last.
3. And he himself passed on before them and bowed down to the ground seven times until he came to his brother.
4. But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell upon his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5. Then Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children and said, “Who are these with you?” And he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6. Then the female servants drew near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
7. Then Leah and her children drew near and bowed down, and afterward Joseph and Rachel drew near and they bowed down.
8. And he said, “What do you mean by all this company that I have met?” Then he said, “To find favor in the eyes of my lord.”
