32:1 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
camp!"
So
he
called
the
name
of
that
place
Mahanaim.
32:3 And
Jacob
sent
messengers
before
him
to
Esau
his
brother
in
the
land
of
Seir,
the
country
of
Edom,
32:4 instructing
them,
"Thus
you
shall
say
to
my
lord
Esau:
Thus
says
your
servant
Jacob,
'I
have
sojourned
with
Laban
and
stayed
until
now.
32:5 I
have
oxen,
donkeys,
flocks,
male
servants,
and
female
servants.
I
have
sent
to
tell
my
lord,
in
order
that
I
may
find
favor
in
your
sight.'"
32:6 And
the
messengers
returned
to
Jacob,
saying,
"We
came
to
your
brother
Esau,
and
he
is
coming
to
meet
you,
and
there
are
four
hundred
men
with
him."
32:7 Then
Jacob
was
greatly
afraid
and
distressed.
He
divided
the
people
who
were
with
him,
and
the
flocks
and
herds
and
camels,
into
two
camps,
32:8 thinking,
"If
Esau
comes
to
the
one
camp
and
attacks
it,
then
the
camp
that
is
left
will
escape."
32:9 And
Jacob
said,
"O
God
of
my
father
Abraham
and
God
of
my
father
Isaac,
O
LORD
who
said
to
me,
'Return
to
your
country
and
to
your
kindred,
that
I
may
do
you
good,'
32:10 I
am
not
worthy
of
the
least
of
all
the
deeds
of
steadfast
love
and
all
the
faithfulness
that
you
have
shown
to
your
servant,
for
with
only
my
staff
I
crossed
this
Jordan,
and
now
I
have
become
two
camps.
32:11 Please
deliver
me
from
the
hand
of
my
brother,
from
the
hand
of
Esau,
for
I
fear
him,
that
he
may
come
and
attack
me,
the
mothers
with
the
children.
32:12 But
you
said,
'I
will
surely
do
you
good,
and
make
your
offspring
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
which
cannot
be
numbered
for
multitude.'"
32:13 So
he
stayed
there
that
night,
and
from
what
he
had
with
him
he
took
a
present
for
his
brother
Esau,
32:14 two
hundred
female
goats
and
twenty
male
goats,
two
hundred
ewes
and
twenty
rams,
32:15 thirty
milking
camels
and
their
calves,
forty
cows
and
ten
bulls,
twenty
female
donkeys
and
ten
male
donkeys.
32:16 These
he
handed
over
to
his
servants,
every
drove
by
itself,
and
said
to
his
servants,
"Pass
on
ahead
of
me
and
put
a
space
between
drove
and
drove."
32:17 He
instructed
the
first,
"When
Esau
my
brother
meets
you
and
asks
you,
'To
whom
do
you
belong
Where
are
you
going
And
whose
are
these
ahead
of
you'
32:18 then
you
shall
say,
'They
belong
to
your
servant
Jacob.
They
are
a
present
sent
to
my
lord
Esau.
And
moreover,
he
is
behind
us.'"
32:19 He
likewise
instructed
the
second
and
the
third
and
all
who
followed
the
droves,
"You
shall
say
the
same
thing
to
Esau
when
you
find
him,
32:20 and
you
shall
say,
'Moreover,
your
servant
Jacob
is
behind
us.'"
For
he
thought,
"I
may
appease
him
with
the
present
that
goes
ahead
of
me,
and
afterward
I
shall
see
his
face.
Perhaps
he
will
accept
me."
32:21 So
the
present
passed
on
ahead
of
him,
and
he
himself
stayed
that
night
in
the
camp.
32:22 The
same
night
he
arose
and
took
his
two
wives,
his
two
female
servants,
and
his
eleven
children,
and
crossed
the
ford
of
the
Jabbok.
32:23 He
took
them
and
sent
them
across
the
stream,
and
everything
else
that
he
had.
32:24 And
Jacob
was
left
alone.
And
a
man
wrestled
with
him
until
the
breaking
of
the
day.
32:25 When
the
man
saw
that
he
did
not
prevail
against
Jacob,
he
touched
his
hip
socket,
and
Jacob's
hip
was
put
out
of
joint
as
he
wrestled
with
him.
32:26 Then
he
said,
"Let
me
go,
for
the
day
has
broken."
But
Jacob
said,
"I
will
not
let
you
go
unless
you
bless
me."
32:27 And
he
said
to
him,
"What
is
your
name"
And
he
said,
"Jacob."
32:28 Then
he
said,
"Your
name
shall
no
longer
be
called
Jacob,
but
Israel,
for
you
have
striven
with
God
and
with
men,
and
have
prevailed."
32:29 Then
Jacob
asked
him,
"Please
tell
me
your
name."
But
he
said,
"Why
is
it
that
you
ask
my
name"
And
there
he
blessed
him.
32:30 So
Jacob
called
the
name
of
the
place
Peniel,
saying,
"For
I
have
seen
God
face
to
face,
and
yet
my
life
has
been
delivered."
32:31 The
sun
rose
upon
him
as
he
passed
Penuel,
limping
because
of
his
hip.
32:32 Therefore
to
this
day
the
people
of
Israel
do
not
eat
the
sinew
of
the
thigh
that
is
on
the
hip
socket,
because
he
touched
the
socket
of
Jacob's
hip
on
the
sinew
of
the
thigh.
