1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. WBS — Genesis 32:1
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. WBS — Genesis 32:2
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the country of Edom. WBS — Genesis 32:3
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak to my lord Esau: Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there till now: WBS — Genesis 32:4
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and men-servants, and women-servants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. WBS — Genesis 32:5
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. WBS — Genesis 32:6
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid, and distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and camels, into two bands; WBS — Genesis 32:7
8 And said, If Esau shall come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left, will escape. WBS — Genesis 32:8
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who saidst to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee; WBS — Genesis 32:9
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shown to thy servant: for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands. WBS — Genesis 32:10
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he shall come and smite me, and the mother with the children. WBS — Genesis 32:11
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. WBS — Genesis 32:12
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau, his brother; WBS — Genesis 32:13
14 Two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, WBS — Genesis 32:14
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. WBS — Genesis 32:15
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. WBS — Genesis 32:16
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? WBS — Genesis 32:17
18 Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Jacob’s: it is a present sent to my lord Esau: and behold also he is behind us. WBS — Genesis 32:18
19 And so he commanded the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall ye speak to Esau, when ye find him. WBS — Genesis 32:19
20 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. WBS — Genesis 32:20
21 So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the company. WBS — Genesis 32:21
22 And he arose that night, and took his two wives, and his two women-servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok. WBS — Genesis 32:22
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that which he had. WBS — Genesis 32:23
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day. WBS — Genesis 32:24
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 out of joint, as he wrestled with him. WBS — Genesis 32:25
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh; And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. WBS — Genesis 32:26
27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. WBS — Genesis 32:27
28 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. WBS — Genesis 32:28
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name: And he said, why is it that thou dost ask after my name? and he blessed him there. WBS — Genesis 32:29
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. WBS — Genesis 32:30
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. WBS — Genesis 32:31
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrunk, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrunk. WBS — Genesis 32:32
