Genesis 32:13-23

13And he lodged there that night; and took of what came to his hand a gift for Esau his brother —

14two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats; two hundred ewes, and twenty rams;

15thirty milch camels with their colts; forty kine, and ten bulls; twentyH6242 she-asses, and ten young asses.

16And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.

17And he commanded the foremost, sayingH559, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, sayingH559, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee?

18— then thou shalt sayH559, Thy servant Jacob's: it is a gift sent to my lord, to EsauH6215. And behold, he also is behind us.

19And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, sayingH559, According to this word shall ye speak to EsauH6215 when ye find him.

20And, moreover, ye shall sayH559, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he saidH559, I will propitiate him with the gift that goesH1980 before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me.

21And the giftH4503 wentH1980 over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

22And he rose up that nightH3915, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passedH5674 over the ford of the Jabbok;

23and he tookH3947 them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.
