Genesis 32:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ In like manner he commanded the second and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: Speak ye the same words to Esau, when ye find him.

²⁰ And ye shall add: Thy servant Jacob himself also followeth after us: for he said: I will appease him with the presents that go before, and afterwards I will see him, perhaps he will be gracious to me.

²¹ So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.
