1 But Iacob went foorth on his iourney, and the angelles of God came and met him. 2 And when Iacob saw them, he sayde: this is gods hoste, & called the name of the same place, Mahanaim. 3 And Iacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the lande of Seir, the fielde of Edom: 4 And he commaunded them, saying: Thus shall ye speake to my Lorde Esau, thy seruaunt Iacob sayeth thus: I haue ben a straunger with Laban, and haue stayed there vnto this time. 5 And haue oxen, asses, and sheepe, menseruauntes, and womenseruauntes: and haue sent to shewe it my Lord, that I may finde grace in thy sight.
