Genesis 32:19-21

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁹ So, likewise, he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the flocks, saying, “After this manner you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

²⁰ “And you shall say, moreover, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob comes after us.’ For he thought, “I will appease his wrath with the present that goes before me; and afterward, I will see his face. It may be that he will accept me.”

²¹ So they went, with the present, before him. But he remained that night with the company.
