Genesis 32:3-5

3Then Jacob 1sent messengers before him to his brother Esau in the land of 2Seir, the 3country of 4Edom. 4He also commanded them saying, “Thus you shall say to my lord Esau: ‘Thus says your servant Jacob, “I have sojourned with Laban, and 5stayed until now; 56I have oxen and donkeys and flocks and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, 7that I may find favor in your sight.”’”
