And Jacob <H3290> went <H1980> on his way, <H1870> and the angels <H4397> of God <H0430> met <H6293> him.
2
And when Jacob <H3290> saw <H7200> them, he said, <H0559> This [is] God's <H0430> host: <H4264> and he called <H7121> the name <H8034> of that place <H4725> Mahanaim. <H4266>
3
And Jacob <H3290> sent <H7971> messengers <H4397> before <H6440> him to Esau <H6215> his brother <H0251> unto the land <H0776> of Seir, <H8165> the country <H7704> of Edom. <H0123>
4
And he commanded <H6680> them, saying, <H0559> Thus shall ye speak <H0559> unto my lord <H0113> Esau; <H6215> Thy servant <H5650> Jacob <H3290> saith <H0559> thus, I have sojourned <H1481> with Laban, <H3837> and stayed there <H0309> until now:
5
And I have oxen, <H7794> and asses, <H2543> flocks, <H6629> and menservants, <H5650> and womenservants: <H8198> and I have sent <H7971> to tell <H5046> my lord, <H0113> that I may find <H4672> grace <H2580> in thy sight. <H5869>
6
And the messengers <H4397> returned <H7725> to Jacob, <H3290> saying, <H0559> We came <H0935> to thy brother <H0251> Esau, <H6215> and also he cometh <H1980> to meet <H7125> thee, and four <H0702> hundred <H3967> men <H0376> with him.
7
Then Jacob <H3290> was greatly <H3966> afraid <H3372> and distressed: <H3334> and he divided <H2673> the people <H5971> that [was] with him, and the flocks, <H6629> and herds, <H1241> and the camels, <H1581> into two <H8147> bands; <H4264>
8
And said, <H0559> If Esau <H6215> come <H0935> to the one <H0259> company, <H4264> and smite <H5221> it, then the other company <H4264> which is left <H7604> shall escape. <H6413>
9
And Jacob <H3290> said, <H0559> O God <H0430> of my father <H0001> Abraham, <H0085> and God <H0430> of my father <H0001> Isaac, <H3327> the LORD <H3068> which saidst <H0559> unto me, Return <H7725> unto thy country, <H0776> and to thy kindred, <H4138> and I will deal well <H3190> with thee:
10
I am not worthy <H6994> of the least of all the mercies, <H2617> and of all the truth, <H0571> which thou hast shewed <H6213> unto thy servant; <H5650> for with my staff <H4731> I passed over <H5674> this Jordan; <H3383> and now I am become two <H8147> bands. <H4264>
11
Deliver <H5337> me, I pray thee, from the hand <H3027> of my brother, <H0251> from the hand <H3027> of Esau: <H6215> for I fear <H3373> him, lest he will come <H0935> and smite <H5221> me, [and] the mother <H0517> with <H5921> the children. <H1121>
12
And thou saidst, <H0559> I will surely <H3190> do thee good, <H3190> and make <H7760> thy seed <H2233> as the sand <H2344> of the sea, <H3220> which cannot be numbered <H5608> for multitude. <H7230>
13
And he lodged <H3885> there that same night; <H3915> and took <H3947> of that which came <H0935> to his hand <H3027> a present <H4503> for Esau <H6215> his brother; <H0251>
14
Two hundred <H3967> she goats, <H5795> and twenty <H6242> he goats, <H8495> two hundred <H3967> ewes, <H7353> and twenty <H6242> rams, <H0352>
15
Thirty <H7970> milch <H3243> camels <H1581> with their colts, <H1121> forty <H0705> kine, <H6510> and ten <H6235> bulls, <H6499> twenty <H6242> she asses, <H0860> and ten <H6235> foals. <H5895>
16
And he delivered <H5414> [them] into the hand <H3027> of his servants, <H5650> every drove <H5739> <H5739> by themselves; and said <H0559> unto his servants, <H5650> Pass over <H5674> before <H6440> me, and put <H7760> a space <H7305> betwixt <H0996> drove <H5739> and <H0996> drove. <H5739>
17
And he commanded <H6680> the foremost, <H7223> saying, <H0559> When Esau <H6215> my brother <H0251> meeteth <H6298> thee, and asketh <H7592> thee, saying, <H0559> Whose [art] thou? and whither goest <H3212> thou? and whose [are] these before <H6440> thee?
18
Then thou shalt say, <H0559> [They be] thy servant <H5650> Jacob's; <H3290> it [is] a present <H4503> sent <H7971> unto my lord <H0113> Esau: <H6215> and, behold, also he [is] behind <H0310> us.
19
And so <H1571> commanded <H6680> he the second, <H8145> and <H1571> the third, <H7992> and <H1571> all that followed <H1980> <H0310> the droves, <H5739> saying, <H0559> On this manner <H1697> shall ye speak <H1696> unto Esau, <H6215> when ye find <H4672> him.
20
And say <H0559> ye moreover, <H1571> Behold, thy servant <H5650> Jacob <H3290> [is] behind <H0310> us. For he said, <H0559> I will appease <H3722> him <H6440> with the present <H4503> that goeth <H1980> before <H6440> me, and afterward <H0310> I will see <H7200> his face; <H6440> peradventure he will accept <H5375> of me. <H6440>
21
So went the present <H4503> over <H5674> before him: <H6440> and himself lodged <H3885> that night <H3915> in the company. <H4264>
22
And he rose up <H6965> that night, <H3915> and took <H3947> his two <H8147> wives, <H0802> and his two <H8147> womenservants, <H8198> and his eleven <H6240> <H0259> sons, <H3206> and passed over <H5674> the ford <H4569> Jabbok. <H2999>
23
And he took <H3947> them, and sent them over <H5674> the brook, <H5158> and sent over <H5674> that he had.
24
And Jacob <H3290> was left <H3498> alone; and there wrestled <H0079> a man <H0376> with him until the breaking <H5927> of the day. <H7837>
25
And when he saw <H7200> that he prevailed <H3201> not against him, he touched <H5060> the hollow <H3709> of his thigh; <H3409> and the hollow <H3709> of Jacob's <H3290> thigh <H3409> was out of joint, <H3363> as he wrestled <H0079> with him.
26
And he said, <H0559> Let me go, <H7971> for the day <H7837> breaketh. <H5927> And he said, <H0559> I will not let thee go, <H7971> except <H0518> thou bless <H1288> me.
27
And he said <H0559> unto him, What [is] thy name? <H8034> And he said, <H0559> Jacob. <H3290>
28
And he said, <H0559> Thy name <H8034> shall be called <H0559> no more Jacob, <H3290> but Israel: <H3478> for as a prince hast thou power <H8280> with God <H0430> and with men, <H0582> and hast prevailed. <H3201>
29
And Jacob <H3290> asked <H7592> [him], and said, <H0559> Tell <H5046> [me], I pray thee, thy name. <H8034> And he said, <H0559> Wherefore [is] it <H2088> [that] thou dost ask <H7592> after my name? <H8034> And he blessed <H1288> him there.
30
And Jacob <H3290> called <H7121> the name <H8034> of the place <H4725> Peniel: <H6439> for I have seen <H7200> God <H0430> face <H6440> to face, <H6440> and my life <H5315> is preserved. <H5337>
31
And as he passed over <H5674> Penuel <H6439> the sun <H8121> rose <H2224> upon him, and he halted <H6760> upon his thigh. <H3409>
32
Therefore the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> eat <H0398> not [of] the sinew <H1517> which shrank, <H5384> which [is] upon the hollow <H3709> of the thigh, <H3409> unto this day: <H3117> because he touched <H5060> the hollow <H3709> of Jacob's <H3290> thigh <H3409> in the sinew <H1517> that shrank. <H5384>
