Genesis 32
1 And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels of God.
When, Jacob, had gone on his way, there met him, messengers of God.
2 And he said Jacob just when he saw them [is] [the] camp of God this and he called [the] name of the place that Mahanaim.
And Jacob said, when he saw them, the camp of God, is this! So he called the name of that place, Mahanaim.
3 And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region of Edom.
Then did Jacob send messengers before him unto Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 And he commanded them saying thus you will say! to lord my to Esau thus he says servant your Jacob with Laban I have sojourned and I have delayed until now.
And he commanded them, saying, Thus, shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus, saith thy servant Jacob, With Laban, have I sojourned, and tarried until now:
5 And it be[longs] to me ox[en] and donkey[s] flock[s] and [male] servant[s] and female servant[s] and I have sent! to tell to lord my to find favor in view your.
And I have oxen and asses, flocks and men-servants, and maid-servants, So I must needs send to tell my lord, that I might find favour in thine eyes.
6 And they returned the messengers to Jacob saying we went to brother your to Esau and also [he is] coming to meet you and four hundred man [are] with him.
And the messengers returned unto Jacob, saying, —We came in unto thy brother unto Esau, moreover also he is on his way to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 And he was afraid Jacob exceedingly and it was distress to him and he divided the people which [was] with him and the flock and the herd and the camels into two camps.
Then was Jacob greatly afraid, and in distress. So he divided the people that were with him and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two camps,
8 And he said if he will come Esau to the camp one and he will attack it and it will become the camp which remains an escaped remnant.
And he said. Should Esau come upon the one camp, and smite it, yet shall the camp that is left escape.
9 And he said Jacob O God of father my Abraham and [the] God of father my Isaac O Yahweh who said to me return to land your and to kindred your so let me do good with you.
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, —Yahweh, who wast saying unto me, —Return to thy land and to thy kindred that I may deal well with thee:
10 I am [too] insignificant for all the covenant loyalti and for all the faithfulness which you have done with servant your for with staff my I passed over the Jordan this and now I have become two camps.
I am too small for all the lovingkindnesses and for all the faithfulness, which thou hast done unto thy servant, —For with my staff, passed I over this Jordan, But, now, have I become two camps.
11 Deliver me please from [the] hand of brother my from [the] hand of Esau for [am] fearing I him lest he should come and he will attack me mother with children.
Deliver me I pray thee out of the hand of my brother out of the hand of Esau, for I, am afraid of him, lest he come in and smite mother as well as sons
12 And you you have said certainly I will do good with you and I will make offspring your like [the] sand of the sea which not it will be counted from multitude.
But, thou thyself, saidst, —I will deal well with thee. So will I make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not to be counted, for multitude.
13 And he stayed [the] night there in the night that and he took some of which came in hand his a gift for Esau brother his.
And he tarried there that night, and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother:
14 Female goats two hundred and male goats twenty ewes two hundred and rams twenty.
She-goats, two hundred; And he-goats, twenty; Ewes, two hundred; And rams, twenty;
15 Camels suckling and young their thirty cows forty and bulls ten female donkeys twenty and male donkeys ten.
Milch camels, with their colts, thirty; Cows, forty; And bulls, ten; She-asses, twenty; And young he asses ten.
16 And he gave [them] in [the] hand of servants his herd herd to only it and he said to servants his pass over before me and a space you will put between a herd and between a herd.
And he gave them into the hand of his Servants, each drove by itself, and said unto his servants—Pass over before me, and, a breathing-space, shall ye put betwixt drove and drove.
17 And he commanded the first saying that he will meet you Esau brother my and he will ask you saying [belong] to whom? you and where? are you going and [belong] to whom? these [animals] before you.
And he commanded the first one saying: When Esau my brother shall fall in with thee, and shall ask thee, saying Whose art thou? and whither wouldst thou go? and to whom belong these before thee?
18 And you will say to servant your to Jacob [is] a gift it [which has] been sent to lord my to Esau and there! also he [is] behind us.
then shalt thou say, To thy servant Jacob: It is, a present, sent to my lord, to Esau; And behold he himself also is behind us,
19 And he commanded both the second as well as the third as well as all who were going behind the herds saying according to the manner this you will speak! to Esau when find you him.
And he commanded the second also, and the third yea all that were going on behind the droves, saying, —According to this word, shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 And you will say also there! servant your Jacob [is] behind us for he said I will cover face his by the gift that is going before me and after thus I will see face his perhaps he will lift up face my.
Then shall ye say, Also, lo! thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said: I must pacify him with the present that goeth on before me. And, after that, will I see his face: Peradventure he will accept me.
21 And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that in the camp.
So the present passed over before him, —whereas he himself tarried that night in the camp.
22 And he rose - in the night that and he took [the] two wives his and [the] two maidservants his and one [plus] ten sons his and he passed over [the] ford of Jabbok.
And he arose in that night and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, —and passed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
So he took them, and sent them over the brook, —and sent over that which he had.
24 And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up the dawn.
And Jacob was left alone, —and there wrestled a man with him, until the uprisings of the dawn.
25 And he saw that not he prevailed to him and he touched [the] socket of thigh his and it was dislocated [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob when wrestled he with him.
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 put out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said let go me for it has come up the dawn and he said not I will let go you that except you have blessed me.
Then said he—Let me go, for uprisen hath the dawn. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou have blessed me
27 And he said to him what? [is] name your and he said Jacob.
Then he said unto him—What is thy name? And he said—Jacob.
28 And he said not Jacob it will be called again name your that except Israel for you have struggled with God and with people and you have prevailed.
Then he said—Not Jacob, shall thy name be called any more, but Israel, —For thou hast contended with God and with men and hast prevailed.
29 And he asked Jacob and he said tell! please name your and he said why? this do you ask to name my and he blessed him there.
Then asked Jacob and said, Do, I pray thee, tell me thy name! And he said—Wherefore now, shouldest thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there,
30 And he called Jacob [the] name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and it has been delivered life my.
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; For I saw God face to face; and my soul was delivered,
31 And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
And the sun rose on him as soon as he had passed over Penuel, —he, moreover was halting upon his thigh,
32 There-fore not they eat [the] people of Israel [the] sinew of the tendon which [is] on [the] socket of the thigh until the day this for he touched [the] socket of [the] thigh of Jacob [the] sinew of the tendon.
For this cause, the sons of Israel eat not of the nerve of the large hip-sinew, which is by the hollow of the thigh, until this day, —because he touched the hollow of the thigh of Jacob, in the nerve of the hip-sinew.
