Esau Comes to Meet Jacob

1 So Jacob went on his way, and athe angels of God met him.  
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God’s acamp.” And he called the name of that place1 Mahanaim.  
3 Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother ain the land of Seir, bthe country of Edom.  
4 And he commanded them, saying, a“Speak thus to my lord Esau, ‘Thus your servant Jacob says: “I have dwelt with Laban and stayed there until now.  
5 aI have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that bI may find favor in your sight.” ’ ”  
6 Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and ahe also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”  
7 So Jacob was greatly afraid and adistressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.  
8 And he said, “If Esau comes to the one company and1 attacks it, then the other company which is left will escape.”  
9 aThen Jacob said, b“O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord cwho said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you’:  
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the amercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with bmy staff, and now I have become two companies.
