8And he said, “What do you mean by aall 1these camps which I have met?” And he said, “bTo find favor in the sight of my lord.”

9But Esau said, “aI have plenty, my brother; let what you have be your own.”

10And Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, 1for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.

11“Please take my ablessing which has been brought to you, bbecause God has dealt graciously with me and because I have 1everything.” Thus he urged him, and he took it.

12Then 1Esau said, “Let us take our journey and go, and I will go before you.”

13But he said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are 1a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die.

14“Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will lead on slowly, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at aSeir.”

15Then Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “Why do this? aLet me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
