9 Then Jacob prayed, "You are the God of my grandfather Abraham. You are the God of my father Isaac. "Lord, you are the one who said to me, 'Go back to your country and your relatives. Then I will give you success.'
10 You have been very kind and faithful to me. But I'm not worthy of any of this. When I crossed this Jordan River, all I had was my walking stick. But now I've become two groups.
11 "Please save me from the hand of my brother Esau. I'm afraid he'll come and attack me and the mothers with their children.
12 But you have said, 'I will certainly give you success. I will make your children as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. People will not be able to count them.' "
13 Jacob spent the night there. He chose a gift for his brother Esau from what he had with him.
14 He chose 200 female goats and 20 male goats. He chose 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep.
15 He chose 30 female camels with their little ones. He chose 40 cows and ten bulls. And he chose 20 female donkeys and ten male donkeys.
