And Jacob{H3290} went{H1980} on his way,{H1870} and the angels{H4397} of God{H430} met{H6293} him.

And Jacob{H3290} said{H559} when he saw them,{H7200} This is God's{H430} host:{H4264} and he called{H7121} the name{H8034} of that place{H4725} Mahanaim.{H4266}

And Jacob{H3290} sent{H7971} messengers{H4397} before him{H6440} to Esau{H6215} his brother{H251} unto the land{H776} of Seir,{H8165} the field{H7704} of Edom.{H123}

And he commanded{H6680} them, saying,{H559} Thus shall ye say{H559} unto my lord{H113} Esau:{H6215} Thus saith{H559} thy servant{H5650} Jacob,{H3290} I have sojourned{H1481} with Laban,{H3837} and stayed{H309} until now:

and I have oxen,{H7794} and asses,{H2543} [and] flocks,{H6629} and men-servants,{H5650} and maid-servants:{H8198} and I have sent{H7971} to tell{H5046} my lord,{H113} that I may find{H4672} favor{H2580} in thy sight.{H5869}

And the messengers{H4397} returned{H7725} to Jacob,{H3290} saying,{H559} We came{H935} to thy brother{H251} Esau,{H6215} and moreover he cometh{H1980} to meet thee,{H7125} and four hundred{H3967} men{H376} with him.

Then Jacob{H3290} was greatly{H3966} afraid{H3372} and was distressed:{H3334} and he divided{H2673} the people{H5971} that were with him, and the flocks,{H6629} and the herds,{H1241} and the camels,{H1581} into two{H8147} companies;{H4264}

and he said,{H559} If Esau{H6215} come{H935} to the one{H259} company,{H4264} and smite it,{H5221} then the company{H4264} which is left{H7604} shall escape.{H6413}

And Jacob{H3290} said,{H559} O God{H430} of my father{H1} Abraham,{H85} and God{H430} of my father{H1} Isaac,{H3327} O Jehovah,{H3068} who saidst{H559} unto me, Return{H7725} unto thy country,{H776} and to thy kindred,{H4138} and I will do thee good:{H3190}

I am not worthy of the least{H6994} of all the lovingkindnesses,{H2617} and of all the truth,{H571} which thou hast showed{H6213} unto thy servant;{H5650} for with my staff{H4731} I passed over{H5674} this Jordan;{H3383} and now I am become two{H8147} companies.{H4264}

Deliver me,{H5337} I pray thee, from the hand{H3027} of my brother,{H251} from the hand{H3027} of Esau:{H6215} for I fear{H3373} him, lest he come{H935} and smite me,{H5221} the mother{H517} with{H5921} the children.{H1121}

And thou saidst,{H559} 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}

And he lodged{H3885} there that night,{H3915} and took{H3947} of that which he had{H935} with him{H3027} a present{H4503} for Esau{H6215} his brother:{H251}

two hundred{H3967} she-goats{H5795} and twenty{H6242} he-goats,{H8495} two hundred{H3967} ewes{H7353} and twenty{H6242} rams,{H352}

thirty{H7970} milch{H3243} camels{H1581} and their colts,{H1121} forty{H705} cows{H6510} and ten{H6235} bulls,{H6499} twenty{H6242} she-asses{H860} and ten{H6235} foals.{H5895}

And he delivered{H5414} them into the hand{H3027} of his servants,{H5650} every drove{H5739} by itself, and said{H559} unto his servants,{H5650} Pass over{H5674} before me,{H6440} and put{H7760} a space{H7305} betwixt{H996} drove{H5739} and{H996} drove.{H5739}

And he commanded{H6680} the foremost,{H7223} saying,{H559} When Esau{H6215} my brother{H251} meeteth thee,{H6298} and asketh thee,{H7592} saying,{H559} Whose art thou? and whither goest{H3212} thou? and whose are these before{H6440} thee?

then thou shalt say,{H559} [They are] thy servant{H5650} Jacob's;{H3290} it is a present{H4503} sent{H7971} unto my lord{H113} Esau:{H6215} and, behold, he also is behind us.{H310}

And he{H6680} commanded also{H1571} the second,{H8145} and the third,{H7992} and all that followed{H1980} the droves,{H5739} saying,{H559} On this manner{H1697} shall ye speak{H1696} unto Esau,{H6215} when ye find{H4672} him;

and ye{H559} shall say, Moreover,{H1571} behold, thy servant{H5650} Jacob{H3290} is behind us.{H310} For he said,{H559} I will appease{H3722} him{H6440} with the present{H4503} that goeth{H1980} before me,{H6440} and afterward{H310} I will see{H7200} his face;{H6440} peradventure he will accept{H5375} me.{H6440}

So{H5674} the present{H4503} passed over{H5674} before him:{H6440} and he himself lodged{H3885} that night{H3915} in the company.{H4264}

And he rose up{H6965} that night,{H3915} and took{H3947} his two{H8147} wives,{H802} and his two{H8147} handmaids,{H8198} and his eleven{H6240} children,{H3206} and passed over{H5674} the ford{H4569} of the Jabbok.{H2999}

And he took them,{H3947} and sent them over{H5674} the stream,{H5158} and sent over{H5674} that which he had.

And Jacob{H3290} was left{H3498} alone; and there wrestled{H79} a man{H376} with him until the breaking{H5927} of the day.{H7837}

And when he saw{H7200} that he prevailed{H3201} not against him, he touched{H5060} the hollow of his thigh;{H3409} and the hollow{H3709} of Jacob's{H3290} thigh{H3409} was strained,{H3363} as he wrestled{H79} with him.

And he said,{H559} Let me go,{H7971} for the day{H7837} breaketh.{H5927} And he said,{H559} I will not let thee go,{H7971} except{H518} thou bless{H1288} me.

And he said{H559} unto him, What is thy name?{H8034} And he said,{H559} Jacob.{H3290}

And he said,{H559} Thy name{H8034} shall be called{H559} no more Jacob,{H3290} but Israel:{H3478} for thou hast striven{H8280} with God{H430} and with men,{H582} and hast prevailed.{H3201}

And Jacob{H3290} asked{H7592} him, and said,{H559} Tell{H5046} me, I pray thee, thy name.{H8034} And he said,{H559} Wherefore is it{H2088} that thou dost ask{H7592} after my name?{H8034} And he blessed{H1288} him there.

And Jacob{H3290} called{H7121} the name{H8034} of the place{H4725} Peniel:{H6439} for, [said he], I have seen{H7200} God{H430} face{H6440} to face,{H6440} and my life{H5315} is preserved.{H5337}

And the sun{H8121} rose{H2224} upon him as he passed over{H5674} Penuel,{H6439} and he limped{H6760} upon his thigh.{H3409}

Therefore the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} eat{H398} not the sinew{H1517} of the hip{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} of the hip.{H5384}
