Bereshis 32:19-21

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^19 (20) And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the adarim (herds), saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esav, when ye find him.

^20 (21) And say ye moreover, Hinei, thy eved Ya’akov is behind us. For he said, Akhapperah (I will appease, pacify) his face with the minchah that goeth ahead of me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.

^21 (22) So went the minchah (present) over ahead of him; but he himself stayed balailah in the machaneh.
