1 Jacob saw Esau coming with 400 men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two slaves.
2 He put the slaves and their children in front, Leah and her children after them, and Rachel and Joseph last.
3 He went on ahead of them and bowed seven times with his face touching the ground as he came near his brother.
4 Then Esau ran to meet Jacob. Esau hugged him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. They both cried.
5 When he saw the women and children, Esau asked, “Who are these people here with you?”“The children God has graciously given me, sir,” Jacob answered.
6 Then the slaves and their children came forward and bowed down.
7 Likewise, Leah and her children came forward and bowed down. Finally, Joseph and Rachel came forward and bowed down.
