01:031:052 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will
           not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass
           over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.

01:031:053 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their
           father, judge betwixt us.  And Jacob sware by the fear of his
           father Isaac.

01:031:054 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his
           brethren to eat bread:  and they did eat bread, and tarried all
           night in the mount.

01:031:055 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons
           and his daughters, and blessed them:  and Laban departed, and
           returned unto his place.

01:032:001 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

01:032:002 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host:  and he
           called the name of that place Mahanaim.

01:032:003 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto
           the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

01:032:004 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my
           lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with
           Laban, and stayed there until now: 

01:032:005 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and
           womenservants:  and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may
           find grace in thy sight.

01:032:006 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy
           brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four
           hundred men with him.

01:032:007 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed:  and he divided
           the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and
           the camels, into two bands;

01:032:008 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then
           the other company which is left shall escape.

01:032:009 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my
           father Isaac, the lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy
           country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: 

01:032:010 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all
           the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with
           my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two
           bands.

01:032:011 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the
           hand of Esau:  for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me,
           and the mother with the children.

01:032:012 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed
           as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for
           multitude.
