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 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.

24 And Jacob is left alone, and one wrestleth with him till the ascending of the dawn;
