Genesis 33:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
33 4 Esau and Jacob meet and are agreed. 11 Esau receiveth his gifts. 19 Jacob buyeth a possession, 20 And buildeth an altar.
1 And as Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men: and he [a]divided the children to Leah, and unto Rachel, and to the two maids.
2 And he put the maids, and their children foremost, and Leah, and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 So he went before them and [b]bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
