01:031:054 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his
brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in
the mount.
01:031:055 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons
and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned
unto his place.
01:032:001 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
01:032:002 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he
called the name of that place Mahanaim.
01:032:003 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto
the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
01:032:004 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my
lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban,
and stayed there until now:
01:032:005 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and
womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in
thy sight.
01:032:006 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy
brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with
him.
01:032:007 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided
the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels,
into two bands;
01:032:008 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then
the other company which is left shall escape.
01:032:009 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my
father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country,
and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
01:032:010 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all
the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I
passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
01:032:011 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from
the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and
the mother with the children.
01:032:012 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy
seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
01:032:013 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which
came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
01:032:014 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes,
and twenty rams,
01:032:015 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten
bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
01:032:016 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every
drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me,
and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
01:032:017 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother
meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest
thou? and whose are these before thee?
01:032:018 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a
present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
