So later that day Jacob (Akobe) met Esau coming with his 400 men. Jacob told his children to walk with their mothers.

Once upon a time, in a far-off land called Mamre (modern-day Cape Town, South Africa), there lived a wise, righteous, and wealthy man named Abrashem. He had a son named Isaaka, whom he loved dearly.
