“And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.”

8"What do you mean by sending this whole company to meet me?" asked Esau. "To find favor in your sight, my lord," Jacob answered.
“And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my Lord.”

“And Esau said, I have enough, my brother. Keep that thou hast unto thyself.”
“And Esau said, I have enough, my brother. Keep that thou hast unto thyself.”

“And Esau said, I have enough, my brother. Keep that thou hast to thyself.”
10But Jacob insisted, "No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
“Jacob said, no please if now I have found favor in your sight then take my present from my hand for I see your face as one sees the face of God and you have received me favorably.”
“Jacob said nay I pray thee if now I have found grace in thy sight then receive my present at my hand. For therefore I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God and thou was pleased with me.”
“And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand, for therefore I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.”
“And Jacob said, no, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God and you were pleased with me.”

“And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee. If now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present in my hand. For therefore I have seen thy face as though I had seen the face of God. And he wasn't kidding. And thou wast pleased…”
11Please accept my gift that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have all I need." So Jacob pressed him until he accepted.
“Take I pray thee my blessing that is brought to thee, because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.”

12Then Esau said, "Let us be on our way, and I will go ahead of you."
“And he said, let us take our journey and let us go, and I will go before thee.”
“Then Esau said, let us take our journey and go and I will go before you.”
“And he said, let us take our journey and go. Let us go. And I will go before thee.”

13But Jacob replied, "My lord knows that the children are frail, and I must care for sheep and cattle that are nursing their young. If they are driven hard for even a day, all the animals will die.
“And he said unto him, My Lord, knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me. And if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.”
“And he said unto him my Lord knoweth that the children are tender and the flocks and herds with young are with me and if men should overdrive them one day all the flock will die.”

“Let my Lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me, and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my Lord, unto Seir.”

“And Esau said, let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, what needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my Lord.”
“"...and Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? Let me find grace in the sight of my Lord.”
