Bereshis 32:6-8

^6 (7) And the malachim returned to Ya’akov, saying, We came to Esav achicha, and also he cometh to meet thee, and arba me’ot ish with him.

^7 (8) Then Ya’akov was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided HaAm that was with him, and the tzon, and bakar, and the gemalim, into two machanot;

^8 (9) And said, If Esav come to the one machaneh, and attack it, then the other machaneh which is left shall escape.
