Genesis 33:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Then he said, What meanest thou by all this drove, which I met? Who answered, I have sent it, that I may find favor in the sight of my lord.
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.
