4 But Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, hugged his neck, and kissed him. Then they both wept. 5 When Esau[a] looked up[b] and saw the women and the children, he asked, “Who are these people with you?” Jacob[c] replied, “The children whom God has graciously given[d] your servant.” 6 The female servants came forward with their children and bowed down.[e]
