8 Esau then asked, |What did you intend by sending all these herds to meet me?| Jacob replied, |To find favor in your sight, my lord.| 9 But Esau said, |I have plenty, my brother. Keep what belongs to you.| 10 No, please take them,| Jacob said. |If I have found favor in your sight, accept my gift from my hand. Now that I have seen your face and you have accepted me, it is as if I have seen the face of God. 11 Please take my present that was brought to you, for God has been generous to me and I have all I need.| When Jacob urged him, he took it.
