1 Later that day Jacob met Esau coming with his 400 men. So Jacob told his children to walk with their mothers.
2 The two servant women, Zilpah and Bilhah, together with their children went first, followed by Leah and her children, then by Rachel and Joseph.
3 Jacob himself walked in front of them all, bowing to the ground seven times as he came near his brother.
4 But Esau ran toward Jacob and hugged and kissed him. Then the two brothers started crying.
5 When Esau noticed the women and children he asked, “Whose children are these?”Jacob answered, “These are the children the Lord has been kind enough to give to me, your servant.”
6 Then the two servant women and their children came and bowed down to Esau.
7 Next, Leah and her children came and bowed down; finally, Joseph and Rachel also came and bowed down.
