Jacob saw Esau coming with 400 men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two slaves.

He put the slaves and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph last.

He went on ahead of them and bowed seven times with his face touching the ground as he came near his brother.

When he saw the women and children, Esau asked, "Who are these people here with you?" "The children God has graciously given me, sir," Jacob answered.
