1 Jacob also left that place. While he was traveling, he saw God’s angels.
2 When he saw them, he said, “This is God’s camp!” So Jacob named that place Mahanaim.
3 Jacob’s brother Esau was living in the area called Seir in the hill country of Edom. Jacob sent messengers to Esau.
4 He told them, “Tell this to my master Esau: ‘Your servant Jacob says, I have lived with Laban all these years.
5 I have many cattle, donkeys, flocks, and servants. Sir, I am sending you this message to ask you to accept us.’”
6 The messengers came back to Jacob and said, “We went to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you. He has 400 men with him.”
