Genesis 32:16-18

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁶ And he put them into the charge of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me and put a space between drove and drove.

¹⁷ And he commanded the first, When Esau my brother meets you and asks to whom you belong, where you are going, and whose are the animals before you,

¹⁸ Then you shall say, They are your servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent to my lord Esau; and moreover, he is behind us.
