Genesis 33:8–15

⁸And he said, “What do you mean by ^aall this company 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.”

¹⁰Jacob 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 ^1agift which has been brought to you, ^bbecause God has dealt graciously with me and because I have ²plenty.” 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 frail 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 proceed at my leisure, 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.”

¹⁵Esau said, “Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “¹What need is there? ^aLet me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
