Genesis 32:1-5 ▼

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

2 And Jacob said when he saw them, “This is the camp of God.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

4 And he commanded them, saying, “Thus you? shall say to my lord, to Esau, thus says your servant Jacob: ‘With Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.

5 And I have oxen and donkeys, flock, and menservants and maidservants. And I have sent to declare to my lord, to find favor in your eyes.’”
