Genesis 32:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 32:13

11 ^aDeliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and¹ attack me and ^bthe mother with the children.

12 For ^aYou said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the ^bsand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’ ”

13 So he lodged there that same night, and took what¹ came to his hand as ^aa present for Esau his brother:

14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

15 thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

16 Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves.”

17 And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?’
