Genesis 33:8-11
New International Version
8 Esau asked, “What’s the meaning of all these flocks and herds I met?”(A)
“To find favor in your eyes, my lord,”(B) he said.
9 But Esau said, “I already have plenty,(C) my brother. Keep what you have for yourself.”
10 “No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have found favor in your eyes,(D) accept this gift(E) from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God,(F) now that you have received me favorably.(G) 11 Please accept the present(H) that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me(I) and I have all I need.”(J) And because Jacob insisted,(K) Esau accepted it.

8 And he said, “What do you mean by (A)all this company which I have met?” And he said, “(B)To find favor in the sight of my lord.” 9 But Esau said, “(C)I have plenty, my brother; let what you have be your own.” 10 Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then accept my gift from my hand, [a]for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably. 11 Please accept my [b](D)gift which has been brought to you, (E)because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have [c]plenty.” So he urged him, and he accepted it.
