Genesis32:5

5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and Menservants, and women-servants : and I have sent to tell my Lord , that I may find grace in thy sight .

Yet in my exile God hath blessed me with a competency of worldly goods, and therefore I am not likely to be either a burden to thee, or a disgrace to our Family.

To acquaint him with my coming and with the state of my affairs.

That I may obtain pardon for my former errours, and thy favour and friendship for the future.
