Genesis 32:19-21

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁹ And so he commanded the second and the third and all that followed the droves, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you meet him.

²⁰ And say, Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.

²¹ So the present went on before him, and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
