4 E mandou-lhes dizendo: Assim direis a mim senhor Esaú: Assim diz teu servo Jacó: Com Labão morei, e detive-me até agora;
5 E tenho vacas, e asnos, e ovelhas, e servos, e servas; e envio a dizê-lo a meu senhor, para achar favor em teus olhos.
6 E os mensageiros voltaram a Jacó, dizendo: Viemos a teu irmão Esaú, e ele também veio a receber-te, e quatrocentos homens com ele.
7 Então Jacó teve grande temor, e angustiou-se; e partiu o povo que tinha consigo, e as ovelhas e as vacas e os camelos, em dois grupos;
8 E disse: Se vier Esaú a um grupo e o ferir, o outro grupo escapará.
