Genesis 32:4-9

4He instructed themH6680, “You are to sayH559H3541 to my masterH113 EsauH6215H3541, ‘Your servantH5650 JacobH3290 saysH559: I have been stayingH1481 withH5973 LabanH3837 and have remained thereH309 untilH5704 nowH6258. 5I haveH1961 oxenH7794, donkeysH2543, flocksH6629, menservantsH5650, and maidservantsH8198. I have sentH7971 this message to informH5046 my masterH113, so that I may findH4672 favorH2580 in your sightH5869.’”

6When the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 toH413 JacobH3290, they saidH559, “We wentH935 toH413 your brotherH251H413 EsauH6215, and nowH1571 he is comingH1980 to meet youH7122—he and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 with himH5973.”

7In greatH3966 fearH3372 and distressH3334, JacobH3290 dividedH2673 hisH854 peopleH5971 into twoH8147 campsH4264, as well as the flocksH6629 and herdsH1241 and camelsH1581. 8He thoughtH559, “IfH518 EsauH6215 comesH935 and attacksH5221 oneH259 campH4264, thenH1961 the otherH7604 campH4264 can escapeH6413.”

9Then JacobH3290 declaredH559, “O GodH430 of my fatherH1 AbrahamH85, GodH430 of my fatherH1 IsaacH3327, the LORDH3068 who toldH559 meH413, ‘Go backH7725 to your countryH776 and to your kindredH4138, and I will make you prosperH3190H5973,’
