And he lift up his eyes and saw the wives and their
children, and said: what are these which thou there hast? And he
said: they are the children which God hath given thy servant. Then
came the maidens forth, and did their obeisance. Lea also and her
children came and did their obeisance. And last of all came Ioseph
and Rahel and did their obeisance. And he said: what meanest thou
with all the droves which I met? And he answered: to find grace in
the sight of my lord. And Esau said: I have enough my brother,
keep that thou hast unto thyself. Iacob answered: oh nay but if I
have found grace in thy sight, receive my present of my hand: for
I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God:
wherefore receive me to grace and take my blessing that I have
brought thee, for God hath given it me freely. And I have enough
of all things. And so he compelled him to take it. And he said:
let us take our journey and go, and I will go in thy company. And
he said unto him: my lord knoweth that I have tender children,
ewes and kine with young, under mine hand, which if men should
overdrive but even one day, the whole flock would die. Let my lord
therefore go before his servant and I will drive fair and softly,
according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children, be
able to endure: until I come to my lord unto Seir.
