16 E entregou-o em mão de seus servos, cada manada à parte; e disse a seus servos: Passai diante de mim, e ponde espaço entre manada e manada.
17 E mandou ao primeiro, dizendo: Se meu irmão Esaú te encontrar, e te perguntar, dizendo De quem és? E: Para onde vais? E: para quem é isto que levas diante de ti?
18 Então dirás: Presente é de teu servo Jacó, que envia a meu senhor Esaú; e eis que também ele vem atrás de nós.
19 E mandou também ao segundo, e ao terceiro, e a todos os que iam atrás aquelas manadas, dizendo: Conforme isto falareis a Esaú, quando o achardes.
20 E direis também: Eis que teu servo Jacó vem atrás de nós. Porque disse: Apaziguarei sua ira com o presente que vai adiante de mim, e depois verei seu rosto; talvez lhe serei aceito.
