1 And Jacob <03290> went <01980> (8804) on his way <01870>, and the angels <04397> of God <0430> met <06293> (8799) him.
 - ANGELS
2 And when Jacob <03290> saw them <07200> (8804), he said <0559> (8799), This is God#s <0430> host <04264>: and he called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of that place <04725> Mahanaim <04266>.
3 And Jacob <03290> sent <07971> (8799) messengers <04397> before him <06440> to Esau <06215> his brother <0251> unto the land <0776> of Seir <08165>, the country <07704> of Edom <0123>.
4 And he commanded <06680> (8762) them, saying <0559> (8800), Thus shall ye speak <0559> (8799) unto my lord <0113> Esau <06215>; Thy servant <05650> Jacob <03290> saith <0559> (8804) thus, I have sojourned <01481> (8804) with Laban <03837>, and stayed there <0309> (8799) until now:
5 And I have oxen <07794>, and asses <02543>, flocks <06629>, and menservants <05650>, and womenservants <08198> : and I have sent <07971> (8799) to tell <05046> (8687) my lord <0113>, that I may find <04672> (8800) grace <02580> in thy sight <05869>.
 - FAVOR
6 And the messengers <04397> returned <07725> (8799) to Jacob <03290>, saying <0559> (8800), We came <0935> (8804) to thy brother <0251> Esau <06215>, and also he cometh <01980> (8802) to meet thee <07125> (8800) , and four hundred <03967> men <0376> with him.
7 Then Jacob <03290> was greatly <03966> afraid <03372> (8799) and distressed <03334> (8799): and he divided <02673> (8799) the people <05971> that was with him, and the flocks <06629>, and herds <01241>, and the camels <01581> , into two <08147> bands <04264>;
8 And said <0559> (8799), If Esau <06215> come <0935> (8799) to the one <0259> company <04264> , and smite it <05221> (8689), then the other company <04264> which is left <07604> (8737) shall escape <06413>.
9 And Jacob <03290> said <0559> (8799), O God <0430> of my father <01> Abraham <085>, and God <0430> of my father <01> Isaac <03327>, the LORD <03068> which saidst <0559> (8802) unto me, Return <07725> (8798) unto thy country <0776>, and to thy kindred <04138>, and I will deal well <03190> (8686) with thee:
10 I am not worthy of the least <06994> (8804) of all the mercies <02617>, and of all the truth <0571>, which thou hast shewed <06213> (8804) unto thy servant <05650>; for with my staff <04731> I passed over <05674> (8804) this Jordan <03383> ; and now I am become two <08147> bands <04264>.
11 Deliver me <05337> (8685), I pray thee, from the hand <03027> of my brother <0251>, from the hand <03027> of Esau <06215>: for I fear <03373> him, lest he will come <0935> (8799) and smite me <05221> (8689), and the mother <0517> with <05921> the children <01121>.
12 And thou saidst <0559> (8804), I will surely <03190> (8687) do thee good <03190> (8686), and make <07760> (8804) thy seed <02233> as the sand <02344> of the sea <03220>, which cannot be numbered <05608> (8735) for multitude <07230>.
 - COVENANT OF ABRAHAM
13 And he lodged <03885> (8799) there that same night <03915>; and took <03947> (8799) of that which came <0935> (8802) to his hand <03027> a present <04503> for Esau <06215> his brother <0251>;
14 Two hundred <03967> she goats <05795>, and twenty <06242> he goats <08495>, two hundred <03967> ewes <07353> , and twenty <06242> rams <0352>,
15 Thirty <07970> milch <03243> (8688) camels <01581> with their colts <01121>, forty <0705> kine <06510>, and ten <06235> bulls <06499>, twenty <06242> she asses <0860>, and ten <06235> foals <05895>.
16 And he delivered <05414> (8799) them into the hand <03027> of his servants <05650>, every drove <05739> by themselves; and said <0559> (8799) unto his servants <05650>, Pass over <05674> (8798) before me <06440>, and put <07760> (8799) a space <07305> betwixt <0996> drove <05739> and <0996> drove <05739>.
17 And he commanded <06680> (8762) the foremost <07223>, saying <0559> (8800), When Esau <06215> my brother <0251> meeteth thee <06298> (8799), and asketh thee <07592> (8804), saying <0559> (8800), Whose art thou? and whither goest <03212> (8799) thou? and whose are these before <06440> thee?
18 Then thou shalt say <0559> (8804), They be thy servant <05650> Jacob#s <03290>; it is a present <04503> sent <07971> (8803) unto my lord <0113> Esau <06215>: and, behold, also he is behind us <0310>.
19 And so <01571> commanded he <06680> (8762) the second <08145>, and the third <07992>, and all that followed <01980> (8802) <0310> the droves <05739>, saying <0559> (8800), On this manner <01697> shall ye speak <01696> (8762) unto Esau <06215>, when ye find <04672> (8800) him.
20 And say ye <0559> (8804) moreover <01571>, Behold, thy servant <05650> Jacob <03290> is behind us <0310>. For he said <0559> (8804), I will appease <03722> (8762) him <06440> with the present <04503> that goeth <01980> (8802) before me <06440>, and afterward <0310> I will see <07200> (8799) his face <06440>; peradventure he will accept <05375> (8799) of me <06440>.
21 So went <05674> <00> the present <04503> over <05674> (8799) before him <06440>: and himself lodged <03885> (8804) that night <03915> in the company <04264>.
22 And he rose up <06965> (8799) that night <03915>, and took <03947> (8799) his two <08147> wives <0802>, and his two <08147> womenservants <08198>, and his eleven <06240> <0259> sons <03206>, and passed over <05674> (8799) the ford <04569> Jabbok <02999>.
23 And he took them <03947> (8799), and sent them over <05674> (8686) the brook <05158>, and sent over <05674> (8686) that he had.
24 And Jacob <03290> was left <03498> (8735) alone; and there wrestled <079> (8735) a man <0376> with him until the breaking <05927> (8800) of the day <07837>.
25 And when he saw <07200> (8799) that he prevailed <03201> (8804) not against him, he touched <05060> (8799) the hollow of his thigh <03409>; and the hollow <03709> of Jacob#s <03290> thigh <03409> was out of joint <03363> (8799) , as he wrestled <079> (8736) with him.
26 And he said <0559> (8799), Let me go <07971> (8761), for the day <07837> breaketh <05927> (8804). And he said <0559> (8799), I will not let thee go <07971> (8762), except <0518> thou bless <01288> (8765) me.
27 And he said <0559> (8799) unto him, What is thy name <08034>? And he said <0559> (8799), Jacob <03290>.
28 And he said <0559> (8799), Thy name <08034> shall be called <0559> (8735) no more Jacob <03290>, but Israel <03478>: for as a prince hast thou power <08280> (8804) with God <0430> and with men <0582>, and hast prevailed <03201> (8799).
29 And Jacob <03290> asked <07592> (8799) him, and said <0559> (8799), Tell <05046> (8685) me, I pray thee, thy name <08034>. And he said <0559> (8799), Wherefore is it <02088> that thou dost ask <07592> (8799) after my name <08034>? And he blessed <01288> (8762) him there.
30 And Jacob <03290> called <07121> (8799) the name <08034> of the place <04725> Peniel <06439>: for I have seen <07200> (8804) God <0430> face <06440> to face <06440>, and my life <05315> is preserved <05337> (8735).
31 And as he passed over <05674> (8804) Penuel <06439> the sun <08121> rose <02224> (8799) upon him, and he halted <06760> (8802) upon his thigh <03409>.
32 Therefore the children <01121> of Israel <03478> eat <0398> (8799) not of the sinew <01517> which shrank <05384>, which is upon the hollow <03709> of the thigh <03409>, unto this day <03117>: because he touched <05060> (8804) the hollow <03709> of Jacob#s <03290> thigh <03409> in the sinew <01517> that shrank <05384>.
