Then their father Israel spoke to them. He said,“ If that’s the way it has to be, then do what I tell you. Put some of the best things from our land in your bags. Take them down to the man as a gift.

When Joseph came home, they gave him the gifts they had brought into the house. They bowed down low in front of him.

Joseph was the governor of the land. He was the one who sold grain to all its people. When Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.

Make sure you say,‘ Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’ ” Jacob was thinking,“ I’ll make peace with him with these gifts I’m sending on ahead. When I see him later, maybe he’ll welcome me.”So Jacob’s gifts went on ahead of him. But he himself spent the night in the camp.

Ask your own servants. They’ll tell you. We’ve come to you now at a happy time of the year. Please be kind to my men. Please give me and my men anything you can find for us.’ ”

“ No, please!” said Jacob.“ If I’ve pleased you, accept this gift from me. Seeing your face is like seeing the face of God. You have welcomed me so kindly.

Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. So he quickly left the entrance to his tent to greet them. He bowed low to the ground.

I’ve brought a gift for you. Give it to the men who follow you.
