Book 01 : GENESIS - Chapter 032

032:001

And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim

032:002

And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom

032:003

And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now

032:004

And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight

032:005

And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him

032:006

Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands

032:007

And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape

032:008

And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee

032:009

I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands

032:010

Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children

032:011

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

032:012

And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother

032:013

Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams

032:014

Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals

032:015

And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove

032:016

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

032:017

Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us

032:018

And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him

032:019

And say ye 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 of me

032:020

So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company

032:021

And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok

032:022

And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had

032:023

And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day

032:024

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 out of joint, as he wrestled with him

032:025

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me

032:026

And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob

032:027

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed

032:028

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

032:029

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved

032:030

And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh

032:031

Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank
