Jacob Prepares for the Encounter
Genesis 33:1-4
1
Ya'akov raised his eyes and looked out; and there was 'Esav coming, and four hundred men with him. So Ya'akov divided the children between Le'ah, Rachel and the two slave-girls,
2
putting the slave-girls and their children first, Le'ah and her children second, and Rachel and Yosef last.
3
Then he himself passed on ahead of them and prostrated himself on the ground seven times before approaching his brother.
4
'Esav ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around his neck and kissed him; and they wept.
