32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met
him.
32:2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host:
and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother
unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
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:
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.
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.
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;
32:8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it,
then the other company which is left shall escape.
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:
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.
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.
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.
32:13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that
which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred
ewes, and twenty rams,
32:15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and
ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged
that night in the company.
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.
32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and
sent over that he had.
32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with
him until the breaking of the day.
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.
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.
32:27 And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said,
Jacob.
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.
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.
32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I
have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and
he halted upon his thigh.
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.
