1. Then Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.
2. He put the maids and their children in front, and Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3. But he himself passed on ahead of them and bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4. Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5. He lifted his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" So he said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."
6. Then the maids came near with their children, and they bowed down.
7. Leah likewise came near with her children, and they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed down.
