Genesis:32:7-12

*
So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed ;
and he divided the people that were with him ,
and the flocks and herds and camels ,
into two companies .
*
And he said , "
If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it ,
then the other company which is left will escape ."
*
Then Jacob said , "
O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac ,
the LORD who said to me , "
Return to your country and to your family ,
and I will deal well with you ':
*
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant ;
for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff ,
and now I have become two companies .
*
Deliver me ,
I pray ,
from the hand of my brother ,
from the hand of Esau ;
for I fear him ,
lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children .
*
For You said , "
I will surely treat you well ,
and make your descendants as the sand of the sea ,
which cannot be numbered for multitude ."'
