8 Then Esau asked, |What are all these livestock for?| |To solicit favor from you, sir,| Jacob answered. 9 But Esau replied, |I already have so much, my brother, so keep what belongs to you.| 10 |Please,| Jacob implored him, |don't refuse. If I'm to receive favor from you, then receive this gift from me, because seeing your face is like seeing the face of God, since you have favorably accepted me. 11 So receive my blessing, which has been sent to you, since God has been gracious to me. Besides, I have enough.| Because Jacob kept pressing him, Esau accepted the gifts. Genesis 33:8-11, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
