'Present' in the Bible

So he spent the night there. Then he selected from what he had with him a present for his brother Esau:

then you shall say, ‘These belong to your servant Jacob; it is a present sent to my lord Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.’”

and you shall say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.’” For he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”

So the present passed on before him, while he himself spent that night in the camp.

Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.

Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.

So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

So they prepared the present for Joseph’s coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.

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

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.
