Genesis:32:7-12
rsv@Genesis:32:7 @ Then 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,
rsv@Genesis:32:8 @ thinking, "If Esau comes to the one company and destroys it, then the company which is left will escape."
rsv@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who didst say to me, `Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will do you good,'
rsv@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the steadfast love and all the faithfulness which thou hast shown to thy servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
rsv@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, lest he come and slay us all, the mothers with the children.
rsv@Genesis:32:12 @ But thou didst say, `I will do you good, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.'"
