Genesis 33:3

⁶Joseph was the governor over the land. It was he who sold to all the people of the land. Joseph’s brothers came, and bowed themselves down to him with their faces to the earth.

¹¹For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”

²He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood near him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

²⁶When Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed themselves down to the earth before him.

⁵Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.

³Do this now, my son, and deliver yourself, since you have come into the hand of your neighbor. Go, humble yourself. Press your plea with your neighbor.

⁴Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

¹⁵even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

¹¹“I am the good shepherd.The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. ¹²He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn’t own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them.

⁴If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, don’t leave your place; for gentleness lays great offenses to rest.
