Genesis 32:3-4

32:3 Jacob sent messengers on ahead 1  to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the region 2  of Edom. 32:4 He commanded them, “This is what you must say to my lord Esau: ‘This is what your servant 3  Jacob says: I have been staying with Laban until now.

1 tn Heb “before him.”

2 tn Heb “field.”

3 sn Your servant. The narrative recounts Jacob’s groveling in fear before Esau as he calls his brother his “lord,” as if to minimize what had been done twenty years ago.
