1. And Jacob lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, Esau is coming, and with him four hundred men; and he divideth the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two maidservants;
2. and he setteth the maid-servants and their children first, and Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3. And he himself passed over before them, and boweth himself to the earth seven times, until his drawing nigh unto his brother,
4. and Esau runneth to meet him, and embraceth him, and falleth on his neck, and kisseth him, and they weep;
5. and he lifteth up his eyes, and seeth the women and the children, and saith, `What [are] these to thee?' And he saith, `The children with whom God hath favoured thy servant.'
6. And the maid-servants draw nigh, they and their children, and bow themselves;
7. and Leah also draweth nigh, and her children, and they bow themselves; and afterwards Joseph hath drawn nigh with Rachel, and they bow themselves.
8. And he saith, `What to thee [is] all this camp which I have met?' and he saith, `To find grace in the eyes of my lord.'
