3 Jacob (he grasps the heel) sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau (hairy) in the land of Seir (shaggy), the country of Edom (red).

4 He instructed them, “You⁺ are to say to my master Esau (hairy), ‘Your servant Jacob (he grasps the heel) says: I have been staying with Laban (white) and have remained there until now.

5 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, menservants, and maidservants. I have sent this message to inform my master, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
