4 Il leur donna cet ordre: Voici ce que vous direz à mon seigneur Ésaü: Ainsi parle ton serviteur Jacob: J’ai séjourné chez Laban, et j’y suis resté jusqu’à présent;
5 j’ai des bœufs, des ânes, des brebis, des serviteurs et des servantes, et j’envoie l’annoncer à mon seigneur, pour trouver grâce à tes yeux.
6 Les messagers revinrent auprès de Jacob, en disant: Nous sommes allés vers ton frère Ésaü; et il marche à ta rencontre, avec quatre cents hommes.
7 Jacob fut très effrayé, et saisi d’angoisse. Il partagea en deux camps les gens qui étaient avec lui, les brebis, les bœufs et les chameaux;
8 et il dit: Si Ésaü vient contre l’un des camps et le bat, le camp qui restera pourra se sauver.
