[Genesis 32:1-12] 1 As Jacob was traveling, the angels of God met him. 2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the army of God,” and he named the place Mahanaim. 3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau, who was in the land of Seir, in the plains of Edom. 4 He commanded them, saying, “Say this to my lord Esau: ‘Thus says your servant Jacob: I have been a sojourner with Laban and have stayed here until now. 5 I have oxen, donkeys, flocks of sheep, and servants; so I am sending men to inform my lord and to seek favor from him.’” 6 The messengers returned to Jacob and said, “We went to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you with four hundred men.” 7 Jacob was very afraid and distressed, so he divided his companions, the sheep, the oxen, and the camels into two groups. 8 He said, “When Esau comes and strikes one group, the other will escape.” 9 Jacob also said, “My O Jehovah, God of my grandfather Abraham and God of my father Isaac, You commanded me long ago, saying, “Return to your homeland and to your people, for I will show you favor.” 10 I am not worthy of all the kindness and all the faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Yet I crossed this Jordan with only my staff, and now I have become two companies. 11 I beg You, deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau. I fear Him, for I am afraid that He will come and attack me and my wife and children. 12 You said, “I will surely show you favor and make your descendants as numerous as the sand of the sea.”
