(KJV.) GENESIS 33:8-14
Jacob and Esau meet:
(8) And he said; What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said: These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
(9) And Esau said, I have enough, my brother: keep that thou hast unto thyself.
(10) And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight; then receive my present at my hand; for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
(11) Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
(12) And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
(13) And he said, unto him: My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me; and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
(14) Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant, and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure' until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
ADDENDUM:
It is said, Love thy neighbor as thyself! per the story of Jacob and Esau, would you have invited Jacob into your place?
