Esau
Conflict and reconciliationForgiving othersForgivenessJoy

2 He put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3 But Jacob himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.

Esau, however, ran to him and embraced him, threw his arms around his neck, and kissed him. And they both wept.

5 When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” Jacob answered, “These are the children God has graciously given your servant.”

6 Then the maidservants and their children approached and bowed down.
