2. And he placed the two handmaids and their children at the beginning. Truly, Leah and her sons were in the second place. Then Rachel and Joseph were last.
3. And advancing, he reverenced prostrate on the ground seven times, until his brother approached.
4. And so Esau ran to meet his brother, and he embraced him. And drawing him by his neck and kissing him, he wept.
5. And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their little ones, and he said: "What do these want for themselves?" and "Are they related to you?" He responded, "These are the little ones that God has given as a gift to me, your servant."
6. Then the handmaids and their sons approached and bowed down.
7. Likewise Leah, with her sons, came near. And when they had reverenced similarly, last of all, Joseph and Rachel reverenced.
8. And Esau said, "What are these companies that I have been meeting?" He responded, "So may I find favor before my lord."
9. But he said, "I have plenty, my brother; let these be for yourself."
