Genesis 32

1 Jacob's vision at Mahanaim. 3 His message to Esau. 6 He is afraid of Esau's coming. 9 He prayeth for deliverance. 13 He sendeth a present to Esau. 24 He wrestleth with an angel at Peniel, where he is called Israel. 31 He halteth.

 32:1 Now as Jacob 3290 went 1980 on his way 1870, the angels 4397 of God 430 met 6293 him.

 32:2 Jacob 3290 said 559 when 3512c he saw 7200 them, “This 2088 is God’s 430 camp 4264.” So he named 7121 8034 that place 4725 Mahanaim 4266.

 32:3 ¶ Then Jacob 3290 sent 7971 messengers 4397 before 6440 him to his brother 251 Esau 6215 in the land 776 of Seir 8165, the country 7704 of Edom 112b.

 32:4 He also commanded 6680 them saying 559, “Thus 3541 you shall say 559 to my lord 113 Esau 6215: ‘Thus 3541 says 559 your servant 5650 Jacob 3290, “I have sojourned 1481a with Laban 3837a, and stayed 309 until 5704 now 6258;

 32:5 I have 1961 oxen 7794 and donkeys 2543 [and] flocks 6629 and male 5650 and female 8198 servants 5650 8198; and I have sent 7971 to tell 5046 my lord 113, that I may find 4672 favor 2580 in your sight 5869.”’”

 32:6 ¶ The messengers 4397 returned 7725 to Jacob 3290, saying 559, “We came 935 to your brother 251 Esau 6215, and furthermore 1571 he is coming 1980 to meet 7122 you, and four 702 hundred 3967 men 376 are with him.”

 32:7 Then Jacob 3290 was greatly 3966 afraid 3372a and distressed 6887a; and he divided 2673 the people 5971a who 834 were with him, and the flocks 6629 and the herds 1241 and the camels 1581, into two 8147 companies 4264;

 32:8 for he said 559, “If 518 Esau 6215 comes 935 to the one 259 company 4264 and attacks 5221 it, then the company 4264 which is left 7604 will escape 6413.”

 32:9 ¶ Jacob 3290 said 559, “O God 430 of my father 1 Abraham 85 and God 430 of my father 1 Isaac 3327, O LORD 3068, who said 559 to me, ‘Return 7725 to your country 776 and to your relatives 4138, and I will prosper 3190 you,’

 32:10 I am unworthy 6994 of all 3605 the lovingkindness 2617a and of all 3605 the faithfulness 571 which 834 You have shown 6213a to Your servant 5650; for with my staff 4731 [only] I crossed 5674a this 2088 Jordan 3383, and now 6258 I have become 1961 two 8147 companies 4264.

 32:11 “Deliver 5337 me, I pray 4994, from the hand 3027 of my brother 251, from the hand 3027 of Esau 6215; for I fear 3372a him, that he will come 935 and attack 5221 me [and] the mothers 517 with the children 1121.

 32:12 “For You said 559, ‘I will surely 3190 prosper 3190 you and make 7760 your descendants 2233 as the sand 2344 of the sea 3220, which 834 is too 4480 great 7230 to be numbered 5608.’”

 32:13 ¶ So he spent 3885a the night 3915 there 8033. Then he selected 3947 from what he had 935 with him a present 4503 for his brother 251 Esau 6215:

 32:14 two hundred 3967 female 5795 goats 5795 and twenty 6242 male 8495 goats 8495, two hundred 3967 ewes 7353 and twenty 6242 rams 352a,

 32:15 thirty 7970 milking 3243 camels 1581 and their colts 1121, forty 705 cows 6510 and ten 6235 bulls 6499, twenty 6242 female 860 donkeys 860 and ten 6235 male 5895 donkeys 5895.

 32:16 He delivered 5414 [them] into the hand 3027 of his servants 5650, every 5739 drove 5739 by itself 905, and said 559 to his servants 5650, “Pass 5674a on before 6440 me, and put 7760 a space 7305 between 996 droves 5739.”

 32:17 He commanded 6680 the one 7223 in front 7223, saying 559, “When 3588 my brother 251 Esau 6215 meets 6298 you and asks 7592 you, saying 559, ‘To whom 4310 do you belong, and where 575 are you going 1980, and to whom 4310 do these 428 [animals] in front 6440 of you belong?’

 32:18 then you shall say 559, ‘[These] belong to your servant 5650 Jacob 3290; it is a present 4503 sent 7971 to my lord 113 Esau 6215. And behold 2009, he also 1571 is behind 310 us.’”

 32:19 Then he commanded 6680 also 1571 the second 8145 and the third 7992, and all 3605 those who followed 1980 310 the droves 5739, saying 559, “After this 2088 manner 1697 you shall speak 1696 to Esau 6215 when you find 4672 him;

 32:20 and you shall say 559, ‘Behold 2009, your servant 5650 Jacob 3290 also 1571 is behind 310 us.’” For he said 559, “I will appease 3722a 6440 him with the present 4503 that goes 1980 before 6440 me. Then afterward 310 3651 I will see 7200 his face 6440; perhaps 194 he will accept 5375 6440 me.”

 32:21 So the present 4503 passed 5674a on before 5921 6440 him, while he himself 1931 spent 3885a that night 3915 in the camp 4264.

 32:22 ¶ Now he arose 6965 that same 1931 night 3915 and took 3947 his two 8147 wives 802 and his two 8147 maids 8198 and his eleven 259 6240 children 3206, and crossed 5674a the ford 4569a of the Jabbok 2999.

 32:23 He took 3947 them and sent 5674a them across 5674a the stream 5158a. And he sent 5674a across 5674a whatever 834 he had.

 32:24 Then Jacob 3290 was left 3498 alone 905, and a man 376 wrestled 79 with him until 5704 daybreak 7837.

 32:25 When he saw 7200 that he had not prevailed 3201 against him, he touched 5060 the socket 3709 of his thigh 3409; so the socket 3709 of Jacob’s 3290 thigh 3409 was dislocated 3363 while he wrestled 79 with him.

 32:26 Then he said 559, “Let 7971 me go 7971, for the dawn 7837 is breaking 5927.” But he said 559, “I will not let 7971 you go 7971 unless 3588 518 you bless 1288 me.”

 32:27 So he said 559 to him, “What 4100 is your name 8034?” And he said 559, “Jacob 3290.”

 32:28 He said 559, “Your name 8034 shall no 3808 longer 5750 be Jacob 3290, but Israel 3478; for you have striven 8280 with God 430 and with men 376 and have prevailed 3201.”

 32:29 Then Jacob 3290 asked 7592 him and said 559, “Please 4994 tell 5046 me your name 8034.” But he said 559, “Why 4100 is it that you ask 7592 my name 8034?” And he blessed 1288 him there 8033.

 32:30 So Jacob 3290 named 7121 8034 the place 4725 Peniel 6439, for [he said], “I have seen 7200 God 430 face 6440 to face 6440, yet my life 5315 has been preserved 5337.”

 32:31 Now the sun 8121 rose 2224 upon him just 3512c as he crossed 5674a over 5674a Penuel 6439, and he was limping 6760 on his thigh 3409.

 32:32 Therefore 5921 3651, to this 2088 day 3117 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 do not eat 398 the sinew 1517 of the hip 5384 which 834 is on the socket 3709 of the thigh 3409, because 3588 he touched 5060 the socket 3709 of Jacob’s 3290 thigh 3409 in the sinew 1517 of the hip 5384.
