10 I am not worthy of all the mercies and all the good deeds which thou hast done unto thy servant, for I have crossed this Jordan with my staff, and now I have two camps.

11 Deliver me out of the hand of my brother, the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and kill me and my mother and children.

12 Thou hast said, 'I will do good to thee, and I will make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is innumerable out of the multitude.'

13 And Jacob slept there that night. And he took of what he had, and sent it as a gift to Esau his brother, saying,

14 Two hundred goats, twenty goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,

15 Thirty milking camels with their foals, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, ten donkeys.

16 And he gave into the hands of his servants every flock separately, and said unto his servants, Go before me, and keep a distance from flock to flock.

17 And he commanded the first, saying, 'When my brother Esau shall meet thee, and ask thee, saying, Whose art thou?' And where are you going? And whose flock is this [going] before thee?

18 then thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob; it is a gift sent to my lord Esau; behold, he himself [comes] after us.

19 And he commanded the second and the third, and all those who followed the flocks, saying, 'Thus speak to Esau when you meet him;

20 And say, 'Behold, Jacob thy servant is coming after us.' For he said within himself, I will propitiate him with the gifts that come before me, and afterwards I will see his face; Maybe he will accept me.

21 And the gifts went before him, and he slept that night in the camp.

22 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the Jabok by ford;

23 And having taken them, he brought them over the stream, and translated all that he had.
