- He delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between droves."
- He commanded the one in front, saying, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks you, saying, 'To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?'
- then you shall say, 'These belong to your servant Jacob; it is a present sent to my lord Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.'"
- Then he commanded also the second and the third, and all those who followed the droves, saying, "After this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him;
- and you shall say, 'Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.'" For he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

- 每样各分一群,交在仆人手下,就对仆人说,你们要在我前头过去,使群群相离,有空闲的地方。
- 又吩咐尽先走的说,我哥哥以扫遇见你的时候,问你说,你是哪家的人,要往哪里去,你前头这些是谁的,
- 你就说,是你仆人雅各的,是送给我主以扫的礼物。他自己也在我们后边。
- 又吩咐第二,第三,和一切赶群畜的人说,你们遇见以扫的时候也要这样对他说。
- 并且你们要说,你仆人雅各在我们后边。因雅各心里说,我藉着在我前头去的礼物解他的恨,然后再见他的面,或者他容纳我。
