Genesis 32:4-6

International Standard Version

⁴ He instructed them, “This is what you are to say to my master Esau: ‘Your servant Jacob told me to tell you, “I’ve journeyed to stay with Laban and I’ve remained there until now. ⁵ I now have cattle, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants. I’m sending this message to you, sir,^[a] so that you’ll show favor to me.”’”

⁶ Later, the messengers returned to Jacob and reported, “We went to your brother Esau. He’s now coming to meet you—and he has 400 men with him!”
