International Standard Version
8 Then Esau asked, “What are all these livestock for?”
“To solicit favor from you,[a] sir,”[b] Jacob answered.
9 But Esau replied, “I already have so much, my brother, so keep what belongs to you.”
10 “Please,” Jacob implored him, “don’t refuse. If I’m to receive favor from you, then receive this gift from me, because seeing your face is like seeing the face of God, since you have favorably accepted me.
