| And Jacob went on his way,
and the angels of God met him. |
| And when Jacob saw them, he
said, This is God's host: and he called the name
of that place Mahanaim. |
| And Jacob sent messengers
before him to Esau his brother unto the land of
Seir, the country of Edom. |
| And he commanded them,
saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau;
Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned
with Laban, and stayed there until now: |
| And I have oxen, and asses,
flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and
I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find
grace in thy sight. |
