GE-32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met

him.

GE-32:2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host:

and he called

the name of that place Mahanaim.

GE-32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his

brother unto the

land of Seir, the country of Edom.

GE-32:4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto

my lord Esau;

Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and

stayed there

until now:

GE-32:5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and

womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find

grace in thy

sight.

GE-32:6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came

to thy brother

Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with

him.

GE-32:7 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;

GE-32:8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it,

then the

other company which is left shall escape.

GE-32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of

my father

Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country,

and to thy

kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

GE-32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and

of all the

truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my

staff I passed

over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.

GE-32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother,

from the hand

of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, [and]

the mother with

the children.

GE-32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make

thy seed as

the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

GE-32:13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that

which came to

his hand a present for Esau his brother;

GE-32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two

hundred ewes, and

twenty rams,

GE-32:15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and

ten bulls,

twenty she asses, and ten foals.

GE-32:16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants,

every drove

by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me,

and put a

space betwixt drove and drove.

GE-32:17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my

brother meeteth

thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither

goest thou? and

whose [are] these before thee?

GE-32:18 Then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob's; it

[is] a

present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he [is] behind

us.

GE-32:19 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.

GE-32:20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is]

behind us. For

he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before

me, and

afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.

GE-32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself

lodged that night

in the company.

GE-32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and

his two

womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford

Jabbok.

GE-32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and

sent over that

he had.

GE-32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man

with him until

the breaking of the day.

GE-32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he

touched the

hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of

joint, as he

wrestled with him.

GE-32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he

said, I will

not let thee go, except thou bless me.

GE-32:27 And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said,

Jacob.

GE-32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob,

but Israel: for

as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast

prevailed.

GE-32:29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray

thee, thy name.

And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my

name? And he

blessed him there.

GE-32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I

have seen God

face to face, and my life is preserved.

GE-32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him,

and he halted

upon his thigh.

GE-32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the

sinew which

shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day:

because he

touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
