Genesis 32:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ Jacob also ordered the second servant, the third servant, and all the other servants to do the same thing. He said, “You will say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. ²⁰ You will say, ‘This is a gift to you, and your servant Jacob is behind us.’”

Jacob thought, “If I send these men ahead with gifts, maybe Esau will forgive me and accept me.” ²¹ So Jacob sent the gifts to Esau, but he stayed that night in the camp.
