Genesis 32:19
βAnd so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 32Meaning
The second, third, and later servants are all told to repeat the same explanation when they meet Esau.
Read carefully
The repetition belongs to Jacob's carefully staged plan; the text reports the strategy without guaranteeing that such methods control another person's heart.
Reflection
Jacob attempts to make his conciliatory intent unmistakable before he arrives in person.
