4 and he misvahs them, saying, Say thus to my adoni Esav: Your servant Yaaqov says thus: I sojourned with Laban and delayed there until now:
5 and I have oxen and he burros, flocks and servants and maids: and I send to tell my adoni, to find charism in your eyes.
6 And the angels return to Yaaqov, saying, We came to your brother Esav and he also comes to meet you with four hundred men.
7 And Yaaqov awes mightily and is depressed: and he halves the people with him and the flocks and oxen and the camels into two camps;
8 and says, If Esav comes to the one camp and smites it, then the other camp which survives escapes.
9 And Yaaqov says, O Elohim of my father Abraham and Elohim of my father Yischaq, Yah Veh who says to me, Return to your land and to your kindred and I well-please you:
10 I am less than the least of all the mercies and of all the truth, you worked to your servant; for with my staff I passed over this Yarden; and now I become two camps:
11 rescue me, I beseech you, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esav: for I awe him, lest he comes and smites me and the mother with the sons.
12 And you - you say, In well-pleasing, I well-please you and set your seed as the sand of the sea which cannot be scribed for abundance.

14 two hundred she goats and twenty he goats two hundred ewes and twenty rams
15 thirty suckling camels with their sons forty heifer and ten bullocks twenty she burros and ten foals:
16 and he gives them into the hand of his servants, drove by drove; and says to his servants, Pass over from my face and put a respiration between drove and between drove.
17 And he misvahs the first, saying, When Esav my brother meets you and asks you, saying, Whose are you? And where go you? And whose are these at your face?
18 Then you say, Of your servant Yaaqov - an offering sent to my adoni Esav: and behold, he also is behind us.
19 And thus he misvahs the second and the third and all who come after the droves, saying, Word this word to Esav, when you find him:
20 and also say, Behold, your servant Yaaqov is behind us: for he says, I kapar/atone at his face with the offering that goes at my face and afterward, I see his face: perhaps he lifts at my face.
21 So the offering passes from his face: and he stays overnight that night in the camp:
