Genesis 33:3-13

3 Jacob went ahead of them and bowed down to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 But Esau ran to meet him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. They were both crying.
5 When Esau looked around and saw the women and the children, he asked, "Who are these people with you?" "These, sir, are the children whom God has been good enough to give me," Jacob answered.
6 Then the concubines came up with their children and bowed down;
7 then Leah and her children came, and last of all Joseph and Rachel came and bowed down.
8 Esau asked, "What about that other group I met? What did that mean?" Jacob answered, "It was to gain your favor."
9 But Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; keep what you have."
10 Jacob said, "No, please, if I have gained your favor, accept my gift. To see your face is for me like seeing the face of God, now that you have been so friendly to me.
11 Please accept this gift which I have brought for you; God has been kind to me and given me everything I need." Jacob kept on urging him until he accepted.
12 Esau said, "Let's get ready and leave. I will go ahead of you."
13 Jacob answered, "You know that the children are weak, and I must think of the sheep and livestock with their young. If they are driven hard for even one day, the whole herd will die.
