Genesis 32:7 CPDV

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.'

⁷  Jacob was very afraid. And in his terror, he divided the people who were with him, likewise the flocks, and the sheep, and the oxen, and the camels, into two companies,

⁸  saying: 'If Esau goes to one company, and strikes it, the other company, which is left behind, will be saved.'

⁹  And Jacob said: 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord who said to me: 'Return to your land, and to the place of your nativity, and I will do well for you.'
