“And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.”
He also instructed the second, the third, and all the others who followed the herds: you are to say the same thing to Esau when you meet him. The repeated message from each successive servant group creates a cumulative experience of Jacob's generosity and humility for Esau. The application: the message of reconciliation is strengthened by repetition.
