1 Later that day Jacobmet Esaucoming with his 400 men. So Jacobtold his children to walk with their mothers. 2 The two servant women, Zilpah and Bilhah, together with their children went first, followed by Leahand her children, then by Racheland Joseph. 3 Jacob himself walked in front of them all, bowing to the ground seven times as he came near his brother.
4 But Esauran toward Jacob and hugged and kissed him. Then the two brothers started crying.
5 When Esau noticed the women and children he asked, "Whose children are these?"
Jacob answered, "These are the children the Lordhas been kind enough to give to me, your servant."
6 Then the two servant women and their children came and bowed down to Esau. 7 Next, Leahand her children came and bowed down; finally, Josephand Rachelalso came and bowed down.
8 Esau asked Jacob, "Why did you send those herds I met along the road?"
"Master," Jacob answered, "I sent them so you would be friendly to me."
9 "But, brother, I already have plenty," Esaureplied. "Keep them for yourself."
10 "No!" Jacobsaid. "Please accept them as a sign of your friendship for me. When you welcomed me and I saw your face, it was like seeing the face of God. 11 Please accept these as gifts I brought to you. God has been good to me, and I have everything I need." Jacob kept insisting until Esau agreed.
12 "Let’s get ready to travel," Esausaid. "I’ll go along with you."
13 But Jacob answered, "Master, you know traveling is hard on children, and I have to look after the sheep and goats that are nursing their young. If my animals travel too much in one day, they will all die. 14 Why don’t you go on ahead and let me travel along slowly with the children, the herds, and the flocks. We can meet again in the country of Edom."
15 Esaureplied, "Let me leave some of my men with you."
"You don’t have to do that," Jacob answered. "I am happy, simply knowing that you are friendly to me."
