Genesis 32:1
|
|
And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of
God met him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:2
|
|
And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's
host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:3
|
|
And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau
his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:4
|
|
And
he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy
servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now: |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:5
|
|
and I have oxen, and asses, and flocks, and
men-servants, and maid-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find
favor in thy sight. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:6
|
|
And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying,
We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred
men with him. |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:7
|
|
Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed:
and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and
the camels, into two companies; |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:8
|
|
and he said, If Esau come to the one company,
and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:9
|
|
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham,
and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who saidst unto me, Return unto thy country,
and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good: |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:10
|
|
I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses,
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 companies. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:11
|
|
Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my
brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the
mother with the children. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 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.
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:13
|
|
And he lodged there that night, and took of
that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother: |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:14
|
|
two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two
hundred ewes and twenty rams, |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:15
|
|
thirty milch camels and their colts, forty cows
and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:16
|
|
And he delivered them into the hand of his servants,
every drove by itself, and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put
a space betwixt drove and drove. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 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? |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:18
|
|
then thou shalt say They are thy servant Jacob's;
it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us. |
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:19
|
|
And he commanded also the second, and the third,
and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau,
when ye find him; |
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:20
|
|
and ye shall say, 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 me.
|
| |
|
|
|
Genesis 32:21
|
|
So the present passed over before him: and he
himself lodged that night in the company. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:22
|
|
And he rose up that night, and took his two
wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford
of the Jabbok. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:23
|
|
And he took them, and sent them over the stream,
and sent over that which he had. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:24
|
|
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled
a man with him until the breaking of the day. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 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 strained,
as he wrestled with him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:27
|
|
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And
he said, Jacob. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:28
|
|
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more
Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:30
|
|
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel:
for, said he, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:31
|
|
And the sun rose upon him as he passed over
Penuel, and he limped upon his thigh. |
|
|
|
|
|
Genesis 32:32
|
|
Therefore the children of Israel eat not the
sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because
he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip. |
