1. AND JACOB raised his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming and with him 400 men. So he divided the children to Leah and to Rachel and to the two maids.
2. And he put the maids and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
3. Then Jacob went over [the stream] before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4. But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. [Luke 15:20.]
5. [Esau] looked up and saw the women and the children and said, Who are these with you? And [Jacob] replied, They are the children whom God has graciously given your servant.
6. Then the maids came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
