Genesis 32:3-5

3Jacob sent messengers on ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the region of Edom.

4He commanded them, “This is what you must say to my lord Esau: ‘This is what your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban until now.

5I have oxen, donkeys, sheep, and male and female servants. I have sent this message to inform my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.’”
