Esau ran against him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him / and they wept. And he lift up his eyes and saw the wives and their children / and said: what are these which thou there hast? And he said: they are the children which God hath given thy servant. Than came the maidens forth / and did their obeisance. Lea also and her children came and did their obeisance. And last of all came Joseph and Rachel and did their obeisance.
