Genesis 32:18-20

Modern English Version

¹⁸ then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is also behind us.’ ”

¹⁹ Likewise he commanded the second and the third and all that followed the droves, saying, “This is what you are to say to Esau when you find him. ²⁰ Moreover, say, ‘Your servant Jacob is behind us.’ ” For he said, “I will appease him with the gift that goes before me, and then I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
