Rotherham(i)
13 And he tarried there that night, and took of that which came to his hand, a present for Esau his brother:––
14 She–goats, two hundred; And he–goats, twenty; Ewes, two hundred; And rams, twenty;
15 Milch camels, with their colts, thirty; Cows, forty; And bulls, ten; She–asses, twenty; And young he–asses, ten.
16 And he gave them into the hand of his servants, each drove by itself,––and said unto his servants––Pass over before me, and, a breathing–space, shall ye put betwixt drove and drove.
17 And he commanded the first one, saying: When Esau my brother shall fall in with thee, and shall ask thee, saying, Whose art, thou? and whither wouldst thou go? and to whom belong these before thee?
18 then shalt thou say, To thy servant Jacob: It is, a present, sent to my lord, to Esau; And behold, he himself also, is behind us.
19 And he commanded the second also, and the third, yea all that were going on behind the droves, saying,––According to this word, shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 Then shall ye say, Also, lo! thy servant Jacob, is behind us. For he said: I must pacify him with the present that goeth on before me, And, after that, will I see his face: Peradventure he will accept me.
21 So the present passed over before him,––whereas, he himself, tarried that night in the camp.
