Genesis 32:1-5

New King James Version

Esau Comes to Meet Jacob

32 So Jacob went on his way, and ^(A)the angels of God met him. ² When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s ^(B)camp.” And he called the name of that place ^[a]Mahanaim.

³ Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother ^(C)in the land of Seir, ^(D)the ^[b]country of Edom. ⁴ And he commanded them, saying, ^(E)“Speak thus to my lord Esau, ‘Thus your servant Jacob says: “I have dwelt with Laban and stayed there until now. ^5 (F)I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that ^(G)I may find favor in your sight.” ’ ”
