Genesis 32:14-22

14So he stayed overnight there. Then from all that had come into his possession he took an offering for Esau his brother:

15200 female goats, 20 billy goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,

1630 milking camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys and 10 male donkeys.

17He put them in the hands of his servants, each herd by itself, and he said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a gap between each of the herds.”

18Then he commanded the first one saying, “When my brother Esau meets you and asks you saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do all these before you belong?’

19then you are to say, ‘To your servant, to Jacob—it’s an offering sent to my lord, to Esau. And look, he’s also behind us.’”

20And he also commanded the second one, the third one, and all those who were going behind the flocks, saying, “Say the same exact thing to Esau when you find him.

21Then you are to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is also behind us.’” For he thought, “Let me appease him with the offering that goes ahead of me, and afterward see his face, perhaps he’ll lift up my face.”

22So the offering passed over ahead of him, while he spent that night in the camp.
