Genesis 32:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ When the messengers came back to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and he is already on his way to meet you. He has four hundred men with him.” ⁷ Jacob was frightened and worried. He divided into two groups the people who were with him, and also his sheep, goats, cattle, and camels. ⁸ He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks the first group, the other may be able to escape.”
