Genesis 32:11

Jacob Prepares to Meet Esau

10I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness You have shown Your servant. Indeed, with only my staff I came across the Jordan, but now I have become two camps.11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid that he may come and attack me and the mothers and children with me.12But You have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to count.’”
