Genesis 32:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Jacob was very worried and afraid. So he separated the people with him into two groups. He also separated the flocks and herds and camels. ⁸ He thought, “Esau might come and attack one group. If he does, the group that’s left can escape.”

⁹ Then Jacob prayed, “You are the God of my grandfather Abraham. You are the God of my father Isaac. Lord, you are the one who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives. Then I will give you success.’
