his father, Isaac. 031:054 Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his relatives to eat bread.

He called the name of that place Mahanaim. 032:003 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom. 032:004 He commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: 'This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now. 032:005 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.'" 032:006 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau.
