Genesis 32:19 WEB

¹⁷  He commanded the foremost, saying, 'When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?'

¹⁸  Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.''

¹⁹  He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, 'This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

²⁰  You shall say, 'Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.'' For, he said, 'I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.'

²¹  So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
