Genesis 32:14-23
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 32
14
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15
thirty milking camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls,
and
twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16
Then he placed
them
in the care of his servants, every flock by itself, and said to his servants, 'Pass on ahead of me, and put a space between flocks.'
17
And 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?’
18
then you shall say, ‘
These
belong to your servant Jacob; it is a gift sent to my lord Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.’?'
19
Then he commanded also the second and the third, and all those who followed the flocks, saying, 'In this way you shall speak to Esau when you find him;
20
and you shall say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.’?' For he said, 'I will appease him with the gift that goes ahead of me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.'
21
So the gift passed on ahead of him, while he himself spent that night in the camp.
22
Now he got up that same night and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven children, and crossed the shallow place of the Jabbok.
23
He took them and sent them across the stream. And he sent across whatever he had.
King James Version
Chapter 32
14
Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15
Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17
And he 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?
18
Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19
And so 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.
20
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22
And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23
And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 32
14
two hundred female goats, twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, twenty rams,
15
thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten male donkeys.
16
He entrusted them to his slaves as separate herds and said to them, "Go on ahead of me, and leave some distance between the herds."
17
And he told the first one: "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to? Where are you going? And whose animals are these ahead of you?’
18
then tell him, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau. And look, he is behind us.’"
19
He also told the second one, the third, and everyone who was walking behind the animals, "Say the same thing to Esau when you find him.
20
You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’" For he thought, "I want to appease Esau with the gift that is going ahead of me. After that, I can face him, and perhaps he will forgive me."
21
So the gift was sent on ahead of him while he remained in the camp that night.
22
During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two slave women, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of Jabbok.
23
He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
New Living Translation
Chapter 32
14
200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,
15
30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.
16
He divided these animals into herds and assigned each to different servants. Then he told his servants, 'Go ahead of me with the animals, but keep some distance between the herds.'
17
He gave these instructions to the men leading the first group: 'When my brother, Esau, meets you, he will ask, ‘Whose servants are you? Where are you going? Who owns these animals?’
18
You must reply, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob, but they are a gift for his master Esau. Look, he is coming right behind us.’'
19
Jacob gave the same instructions to the second and third herdsmen and to all who followed behind the herds: 'You must say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.
20
And be sure to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’' Jacob thought, 'I will try to appease him by sending gifts ahead of me. When I see him in person, perhaps he will be friendly to me.'
21
So the gifts were sent on ahead, while Jacob himself spent that night in the camp.
22
During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River with them.
23
After taking them to the other side, he sent over all his possessions.
English Standard Version
Chapter 32
14
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15
thirty milking camels and their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16
These he handed over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on ahead of me and put a space between drove and drove."
17
He instructed the first, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, ‘To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these ahead of you?’
18
then you shall say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a present sent to my lord Esau. And moreover, he is behind us.’"
19
He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, "You shall say the same thing to Esau when you find him,
20
and you shall say, ‘Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.’" For he thought, "I may appease him with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me."
21
So the present passed on ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22
The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23
He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had.
New International Version
Chapter 32
14
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15
thirty female camels with their young, forty cows and ten bulls, and twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
16
He put them in the care of his servants, each herd by itself, and said to his servants, "Go ahead of me, and keep some space between the herds."
17
He instructed the one in the lead: "When my brother Esau meets you and asks, ‘Who do you belong to, and where are you going, and who owns all these animals in front of you?’
18
then you are to say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau, and he is coming behind us.’ "
19
He also instructed the second, the third and all the others who followed the herds: "You are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.
20
And be sure to say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’ " For he thought, "I will pacify him with these gifts I am sending on ahead; later, when I see him, perhaps he will receive me."
21
So Jacob’s gifts went on ahead of him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.
22
That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23
After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.
New King James Version
Chapter 32
14
two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15
thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16
Then he delivered
them
to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves.”
17
And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose
are
these in front of you?’
18
then you shall say, ‘They
are
your servant Jacob’s. It
is
a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also
is
behind us.’ ”
19
So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him;
20
and also say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob
is
behind us.’ ” For he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”
21
So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
22
And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
23
He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.
