Genesis 32:14-22

14200 female goats and 20 male goats, 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep,

1530 female camels with their young, 40 cows and 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.

16He placed servants in charge of each herd. Then he said to his servants, “Go ahead of me, and keep a distance between the herds.”

17He commanded the first servant, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks you, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and whose animals are these ahead of you?’

18then say, ‘Sir, they belong to your servant Jacob. This is a gift sent to you. Jacob is right behind us.’ ”

19He also commanded the second servant, the third, and all the others who followed the herds. He said, “Say the same thing to Esau when you find him.

20And be sure to add, ‘Jacob is right behind us, sir.’ ” He thought, “I’ll make peace with him by giving him this gift that I’m sending ahead of me. After that I will see him, and he’ll welcome me back.”

21So Jacob sent the gift ahead of him while he stayed in the camp that night.

22During that night he got up and gathered his two wives, his two slaves and his eleven children and crossed at the shallow part of the Jabbok River.
