< Genesis 32 >
1 And Jacob he went to way his and they met him [the] angels 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.
3 And he sent Jacob messengers before him to Esau brother his [the] land of towards Seir [the] region 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
14 Female goats two hundred and male 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
21 And it passed on the gift on face his and he [was] staying [the] night in the night that 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.
23 And he took them and he sent over them the wadi and he sent over [that] which [belonged] to him.
24 And he remained Jacob to only him and he wrestled a man with him until came up 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.
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.
27 And he said to him what? [is] name your 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.
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.
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.
31 And it rose to him the sun just when he passed over Penuel and he [was] limping on thigh his.
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.
