3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in Seir, the country of Edom. 4 He commanded them to give this message to Esau, |Sir, this is what Jacob has to say, 'I've been living with Laban and have stayed until now. 5 I have cattle and donkeys, sheep and goats, and male and female slaves. I've sent [these messengers] to tell you [this news] in order to win your favor.'| 6 When the messengers came back to Jacob, they said, |We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you with 400 men.| Genesis 32:3-6, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
