13
And he lodged there that same night, and took from that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother:
14
two hundred shegoats and twenty hegoats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15
thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty sheasses and ten foals.
16
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, "Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove."
17
And he commanded the foremost, saying, "When Esau my brother meeteth thee and asketh thee, saying, `Whose art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?'
18
then thou shalt say, `They are thy servant Jacob's. It is a present sent unto my lord Esau; and behold also, he is behind us.'"
19
And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, "In this manner shall ye speak unto Esau when ye find him.
20
And say ye moreover, `Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us.'" For he said, "I will appease him with the presents that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me."
