^{14 Ref} she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,

¹⁵ suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten;

^{16 Ref} and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, `Pass over before me, and a space ye do put between drove and drove.'

^{17 Ref} And he commandeth the first, saying, `When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose `art' thou? and whither goest thou? and whose `are' these before thee?

^{18 Ref} then thou hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it `is' a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also `is' behind us.'

¹⁹ And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, `According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding him,

^{20 Ref} and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob `is' behind us;' for he said, `I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;'

²¹ and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.
