Genesis 32:21
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
In context
19 He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: “When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
20 You are also to say, ‘Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” For he thought, “I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me.”
21 So Jacob’s gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
22 During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
