Genesis 32:3-7

MLV(i) 3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom. 4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus you* will say to my lord Esau, Thus says your servant Jacob, I have traveled with Laban and stayed until now. 5 And I have oxen and donkeys, flocks and men-servants and maid-servants. And I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau and moreover he comes to meet you and four hundred men with him. 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. And he divided the people that were with him and the flocks and the herds and the camels, into two companies.
