Genesis 32:8 in Context — Genesis 32
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.
9 Jacob dit: Dieu de mon père Abraham, Dieu de mon père Isaac, Éternel, qui m’as dit: Retourne dans ton pays et dans ton lieu de naissance, et je te ferai du bien!
10 Je suis trop petit pour toutes les grâces et pour toute la fidélité dont tu as usé envers ton serviteur; car j’ai passé ce Jourdain avec mon bâton, et maintenant je forme deux camps.
