“Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;”
In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups, and the flocks and herds and camels as well. The tactical division of the party is the practical response to the threat. Fear and strategic thinking operate simultaneously. The application: fear and practical action are not mutually exclusive. Jacob is afraid and acts strategically at the same time.
