5And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant. Many Bible Versions
6Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves. Many Bible Versions
7And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves. Many Bible Versions

9And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself. Many Bible Versions
10And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me. Many Bible Versions
11Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it. Many Bible Versions
12And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. Many Bible Versions
13And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. Many Bible Versions
14Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. Many Bible Versions
15And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. Many Bible Versions
16So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. Many Bible Versions
