— Genesis 32:12, Bible in Basic English
Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:

Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
