Genesis 32:8 in Context — Genesis 32
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.
9 E disse Jacó: Deus de meu pai Abraão, e Deus de meu pai Isaque, o SENHOR, que me disseste: Volta-te à tua terra e à tua parentela, e eu te farei bem.
10 Menor sou que todas as misericórdias, e que toda a verdade que usaste para com teu servo; que com meu bordão passei este Jordão, e agora estou sobre dois grupos.
