Genesis 32

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 shewed 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.
