Jacob Prepares to Meet Esau

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.’”
