2 He put the female servants and their children in front, then Leah and her children next, and then Rachel and Joseph last.
3 He went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.
5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and the children, he said, “Who are those with you?”Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
6 Then the female servants came near, they and their children, and they bowed down.
7 Leah also with her children came near and bowed themselves. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed themselves.
8 Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company that I met?”Jacob answered, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
