9 “I already have plenty, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what belongs to you.”

10 But Jacob insisted, “No, please! If I have found favor in your sight, then receive this gift from my hand. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing the face of God, since you have received me favorably.
