Genesis 32:6-12

6And the messengersH5046 returned to JacobH7971, saying, WeH4672 cameH1961 to thy brother Esau, and moreoverH1961 he cometh to meetH4672 thee, and four hundred menH5650 with him.

7Then JacobH3290 was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the peopleH376 that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, intoH413 twoH3967 companies;

8and he said, IfH834 Esau come to the one companyH4264, and smite it, then the companyH4264 whichH834 is left shall escape.

9And JacobH559 saidH559, O GodH559 of my father AbrahamH559, and GodH559 of my father IsaacH559, O LORD, which saidst unto meH413, ReturnH935 unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will doH518 thee good:

10I am notH776 worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and nowH3327 I am becomeH7725 two companies.

11Deliver meH1961, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he comeH1961 and smite meH1961, the mother with the children.

12And thou saidst, I will surelyH3588 doH3027 thee good, and makeH3588 thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
