Genesis 32:14

12 But 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.’”

13 Jacob spent the night there, and from what he had brought with him, he selected a gift for his brother Esau:

200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,

15 30 milk camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.

16 He entrusted them to his servants in separate herds and told them, “Go on ahead of me, and keep some distance between the herds.”
