Jacob also went on the journey he had begun: and the angels of God met him.
2
And when he saw them, he said: These are the camps of God, and he called the name of that place Mahanaim, that is, Camps.
3
And he sent messengers before him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom:
4
And he commanded them, saying: Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy brother Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and have been with him until this day:
5
I have oxen, and asses, and sheep, and menservants, and womenservants: and now I send a message to my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight.
6
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: We came to Esau, thy brother, and behold he cometh with speed to meet thee with four hundred men.
