Genesis 33:8-11
New King James Version
8 Then Esau said, “What do you mean by (A)all this company which I met?”
And he said, “These are (B)to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
9 But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
10 And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I (C)have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me. 11 Please, take (D)my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt (E)graciously with me, and because I have [a]enough.” (F)So he urged him, and he took it.

8 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.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And 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 wast pleased with me.
11 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.
