Genesis 32:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ So he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every flock by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass before me and put a space between each flock.”

¹⁷ And he commanded the first, saying, “If my brother, Esau, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose servant are you? And where are you going? And whose are these before you?’

¹⁸ “Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. And behold, he himself also is behind us.’”
