Genesis 32:3-7

Rotherham(i) 3 Then did Jacob send messengers before him, unto Esau his brother,––to the land of Seir, the field of Edom. 4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus, shall ye say to my lord, to Esau, Thus, saith thy servant Jacob, With Laban, have I sojourned, and tarried until, now: 5 And I have oxen and asses, flocks and men–servants and maid–servants, So I must needs send to tell my lord, that I might find favour in thine eyes. 6 And the messengers returned unto Jacob, saying,––We came in unto thy brother, unto Esau, moreover also, he is on his way to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 7 Then was Jacob greatly afraid, and in distress. So he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and the herds and the camels, into two camps.
