- 所打发的人回到雅各那里,说,我们到了你哥哥以扫那里,他带着四百人,正迎着你来。
- 雅各就甚惧怕,而且愁烦,便把那与他同在的人口和羊群,牛群,骆驼分作两队,
- 说,以扫若来击杀这一队,剩下的那一队还可以逃避。
- 雅各说,耶和华我祖亚伯拉罕的神,我父亲以撒的神阿,你曾对我说,回你本地本族去,我要厚待你。
- 你向仆人所施的一切慈爱和诚实,我一点也不配得。我先前只拿着我的杖过这约旦河,如今我却成了两队了。

- When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, "We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."
- In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups, and the flocks and herds and camels as well.
- He thought, "If Esau comes and attacks one group, the group that is left may escape."
- Then Jacob prayed, "O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, O LORD, who said to me, 'Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,'
- I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two groups.
