Genesis 32:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob’s: it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and behold, he himself also is behind us.
19 So likewise commanded he the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, After this manner, ye shall speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 And ye shall say moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob cometh after us. (for he thought, I [a]will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face: it may be that he will [b]accept me.)
