Genesis 33:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother: keep that thou hast to thyself.
10 But Jacob answered, Nay, I pray thee, if I have found grace now in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for [a]I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, because thou hast accepted me.
11 I pray thee take my [b]blessing, that is brought thee: for God hath had mercy on me, and therefore I have all things: for he [c]compelled him, and he took it.
