Genesis 32:6-11

6When the messengers came back to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you with 400 men.”

7Jacob was terrified and distressed. So he divided the people, the sheep and goats, the cattle, and the camels into two camps.

8He thought, “If Esau attacks the one camp, then the other camp will be able to escape.”

9Then Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham and God of my father Isaac! Lord, you said to me, ‘Go back to your land and to your relatives, and I will make you prosperous.’

10I’m not worthy of all the love and faithfulness you have shown me. I only had a shepherd’s staff when I crossed the Jordan River, but now I have two camps.

11Please save me from my brother Esau, because I’m afraid of him. I’m afraid that he’ll come and attack me and the mothers and children too.
