come, when it shall
come for my
hire before thy face: every one that is not
speckled and
spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted
stolen with me.

honesty will
testify for me when you
come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not
speckled or
spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered
stolen.”

Esau come to the one
company, and
smite it, then the other
company which is left shall escape.

Esau: for I fear him, lest he will
come and
smite me, and the mother with the children.

Esau, for I am afraid that he may
come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.

commanded the foremost, saying, When
Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and
whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
He
instructed the one in the lead, “When my brother
Esau meets you and asks, ‘To whom do you belong, where are you going, and whose animals are these before you?’

commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto
Esau, when ye find him.

instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet
Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.

lodged that night in the
company.

Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto
Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.

Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah,
Rachel, and the two maidservants.

“What do you mean by sending this whole
company to meet me?” asked
Esau. “To find favor in your sight, my lord,” Jacob answered.
