Genesis 32:19-21

International Children’s Bible

¹⁹ Jacob ordered the second servant, the third servant and all the other servants to do the same thing. He said, “Say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. ²⁰ Say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’” Jacob thought, “If I send this gift ahead of me, maybe Esau will forgive me. Then when I see him, perhaps he will accept me.” ²¹ So Jacob sent the gift to Esau. But Jacob stayed that night in the camp.
