Genesis 32:1
Jacob also went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is the camp of God.” So he named that place Mahanaim.
3 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
