Genesis 32:6-8

Darby Translation

⁶ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother, to Esau; and he also is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

⁷ Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and was distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the sheep and the cattle and the camels, into two troops.

⁸ And he said, If Esau come to the one troop and smite it, then the other troop which is left shall escape.
