Reconciliation and the Exchange of Gifts
Genesis 33:5-11
5
And he lift vp his eyes, and sawe the women, and the children, and saide, Who are these with thee? And he answered, They are ye childre whome God of his grace hath giuen thy seruant.
6
Then came the maides neere, they, and their children, and bowed themselues.
7
Leah also with her children came neere and made obeysance: and after Ioseph and Rahel drew neere, and did reuerence.
8
Then he said, What meanest thou by all this droue, which I met? Who answered, I haue sent it, that I may finde fauour in the sight of my lorde:
9
And Esau said, I haue ynough, my brother: keepe that thou hast to thy selfe.
10
But Iaakob answered, Nay, I pray thee: if I haue found grace nowe in thy sight, then receiue my present at mine hande: for I haue seene thy face, as though I had seene the face of God, because thou hast accepted me.
11
I pray thee take my blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercie on me, and therefore I haue all things: so he compelled him, and he tooke it.
