Genesis 32:1-4

The Voice

32 Jacob went on his way as well. As he went, messengers of God met him along the way. ² When Jacob saw them, he acknowledged that this was God’s camp, so he named that place Mahanaim, which means “two camps.” ^3-4 Jacob knew he had to pass by the territory of Edom where his brother Esau lived in the land of Seir. He sent messengers ahead with a message for Esau.
