1 So Jacob went on his way and the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed, |This is the camp of God!| So he named that place Mahanaim. 3 Jacob sent messengers on ahead to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the region of Edom. 4 He commanded them, |This is what you must say to my lord Esau: 'This is what your servant Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban until now. 5 I have oxen, donkeys, sheep, and male and female servants. I have sent this message to inform my lord, so that I may find favor in your sight.'| Genesis 32:1-5, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
