01_GEN_32_01 And Jacob went on his way , And the angels of God met him .
01_GEN_32_02 And when Jacob saw them , he said , this [ Is ] God's host : And he called the name of that place Mahanaim .
01_GEN_32_03 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir , the country of Edom .
01_GEN_32_04 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 :
01_GEN_32_05 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 .
01_GEN_32_06 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 .
01_GEN_32_07 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 ;
01_GEN_32_08 And said , if Esau come to the one company , And smite it , Then the other company which Is left shall escape .
01_GEN_32_09 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 :
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_32_13 And he lodged there that same night ; And took of that which came to his hand A present for Esau his brother ;
01_GEN_32_14 two hundred she goats , And twenty he goats , two hundred ewes , And twenty rams ,
01_GEN_32_15 thirty milch camels with their colts , forty kine , And ten bulls , twenty she asses , And ten foals .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 ?
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_32_21 So went the present over before him : And himself lodged that night in the company .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_32_23 And he took them , And sent them over the brook , And sent over that he had .
01_GEN_32_24 And Jacob was left alone ; And there wrestled A man with him until the breaking of the day .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_32_27 And he said unto him , what [ Is ] thy name ? And he said , Jacob .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_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 .
01_GEN_32_30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel : for I have seen God face to face , And my life Is preserved .
01_GEN_32_31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him , And he halted upon his thigh .
01_GEN_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 .
