4 H6680 And he commanded H559 them, saying, H559 Thus shall ye say H113 unto my lord H6215 Esau: H559 Thus saith H5650 thy servant H3290 Jacob, H1481 I have sojourned H3837 with Laban, H309 and stayed until now:

5 H7794 and I have oxen, H2543 and asses, H6629 and flocks, H5650 and men-servants, H8198 and maid-servants: H7971 and I have sent H5046 to tell H113 my lord, H4672 that I may find H2580 favor H5869 in thy sight.

6 H4397 And the messengers H7725 returned H3290 to Jacob, H559 saying, H935 We came H251 to thy brother H6215 Esau, H1980 and moreover he cometh H7125 to meet thee, H3967 and four hundred H376 men with him.

7 H3290 Then Jacob H3966 was greatly H3372 afraid H3334 and was distressed: H2673 and he divided H5971 the people H6629 that were with him, and the flocks, H1241 and the herds, H1581 and the camels, H8147 into two H4264 companies;

8 H559 and he said, H6215 If Esau H935 come H259 to the one H4264 company, H5221 and smite it, H4264 then the company H7604 which is left H6413 shall escape.
