17And he commandedH6680 the foremostH7223, sayingH559, When EsauH6215 my brotherH251 meeteth theeH6298, and asketh theeH7592, sayingH559, Whose art thou? and whither goestH3212 thou? and whose are these beforeH6440 thee?
18Then thou shalt sayH559, They be thy servantH5650 Jacob’sH3290; it is a presentH4503 sentH7971 unto my lordH113 EsauH6215: and, behold, also he is behind usH310.
19And soH1571 commanded heH6680 the secondH8145, and the thirdH7992, and all that followedH310H1980 the drovesH5739, sayingH559, On this mannerH1697 shall ye speakH1696 unto EsauH6215, when ye findH4672 him.
20And say yeH559 moreoverH1571, Behold, thy servantH5650 JacobH3290 is behind usH310. For he saidH559, I will appeaseH3722 himH6440 with the presentH4503 that goethH1980 before meH6440, and afterwardH310 I will seeH7200 his faceH6440; peradventure he will acceptH5375 of meH6440.1
