Genesis 32:13-18 English Standard Version (ESV)

13. So he stayed there that night, and from what he had with him he took a present for his brother Esau,

14. two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

15. thirty milking camels and their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

16. These he handed over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass on ahead of me and put a space between drove and drove.”

17. He instructed the first, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, ‘To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these ahead of you?’

18. then you shall say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a present sent to my lord Esau. And moreover, he is behind us.’”
