2 When he had seen them, he said, 'These are the Encampments of God.' And he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, 'Encampments.'
3 Then he also sent messengers before him to his brother Esau, in the land of Seir, in the region of Edom.
4 And he instructed them, saying: 'You shall speak in this way to my lord Esau: 'Your brother Jacob says these things: 'I have sojourned with Laban, and I have been with him until the present day.
5 I have oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and men servants, and women servants. And now I send an ambassador to my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.' '
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, 'We went to your brother Esau, and behold, he rushes to meet you with four hundred men.'
