31:52-32:16

[31:52] This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm. [31:53] The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the Fear of his father Isaac. [31:54] And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain. [31:55] And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place. [32:1] And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. [32:2] And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. [32:3] And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom. [32:4] And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now: [32:5] and I have oxen, and asses, and flocks, and men-servants, and maid-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in thy sight. [32:6] And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. [32:7] Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies; [32:8] and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape. [32:9] And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good: [32:10] I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two companies. [32:11] Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children. [32:12] And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. [32:13] And he lodged there that night, and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother: [32:14] two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, [32:15] thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. [32:16] And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
