1 And Jacob went on his way and the messengers of God met with him. 2 And Jacob will say when seeing them, This the camp of God: and he will call the name of that place the camps. 3 And Jacob will send messengers before his face to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Adam. 4 And he will command them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus thy servant Jacob said, With Laban I sojourned and lingered till now. 5 And there will be to me ox and ass, sheep and servant, and maid; and I shall send to announce to my lord to find grace in thine eyes. 6 And the messengers will turn back to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau, and also he came to thy meeting, and four hundred men with him. 7 And Jacob will be greatly afraid and it will press upon him: and he will divide the people which were with him, and the sheep and the oxen, and the camels, into two camps.
