Genesis 32:6-12
6The messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to JacobH3290, sayingH559, “We cameH935 to your brotherH251 EsauH6215, and furthermoreH1571 1he is comingH1980 to meetH7122 you, and fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 are with him.” 7Then JacobH3290 was 2greatlyH3966 afraidH3372 and distressedH6887; and he dividedH2673 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, and the flocksH6629 and the herdsH1241 and the camelsH1581, into twoH8147 companiesH4264; 8for he saidH559, “IfH518 EsauH6215 comesH935 to the oneH259 companyH4264 and 3attacksH5221 it, then the companyH4264 which is leftH7604 will escapeH6413.”
9JacobH3290 saidH559, “O 4GodH430 of my fatherH1 AbrahamH85 and GodH430 of my fatherH1 IsaacH3327, O LordH3068, who saidH559 to me, ‘5ReturnH7725 to your countryH776 and to your relativesH4138, and I will 6prosperH3190 you,’ 107I am unworthyH6994 8of allH3605 the lovingkindnessH2617 and of allH3605 the 9faithfulnessH571 whichH834 You have shownH6213 to Your servantH5650; for with my staffH4731 only I crossedH5674 thisH2088 JordanH3383, and nowH6258 I have becomeH1961 twoH8147 companiesH4264. 1110DeliverH5337 me, I prayH4994, 11from the handH3027 of my brotherH251, from the handH3027 of EsauH6215; for I fearH3372 him, that he will comeH935 and 12attackH5221 me and the 13mothersH517 with the childrenH1121. 12For You saidH559, ‘14I will surelyH3190 15prosperH3190 you and 16makeH7760 your 17descendantsH2233 as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220, whichH834 is tooH4480 greatH7230 to be numberedH5608.’”
