13. And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau, his brother;
14. Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15. Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
16. And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17. And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau, my brother, meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
18. Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Jacob's: it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and behold also he is behind us.
19. And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him.
20. And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21. So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the company.
22. And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
