32:1 And Jacob 3290 went 1980 8804 on his way 1870, and the angels 4397 of God 430 met 6293 8799 him.

32:2 And when Jacob 3290 saw them 7200 8804, he said 559 8799, This [is] God's 430 host 4264: and he called 7121 8799 the name 8034 of that place 4725 Mahanaim 4266.(Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps)

32:3 And Jacob 3290 sent 7971 8799 messengers 4397 before him 6440 to Esau 6215 his brother 251 unto the land 776 of Seir 8165, the country 7704 of Edom 123.(country: Heb. field)

32:4 And he commanded 6680 8762 them, saying 559 8800, Thus shall ye speak 559 8799 unto my lord 113 Esau 6215; Thy servant 5650 Jacob 3290 saith 559 8804 thus, I have sojourned 1481 8804 with Laban 3837, and stayed there 309 8799 until now:

32:5 And I have oxen 7794, and asses 2543, flocks 6629, and menservants 5650, and womenservants 8198: and I have sent 7971 8799 to tell 5046 8687 my lord 113, that I may find 4672 8800 grace 2580 in thy sight 5869.

32:6 And the messengers 4397 returned 7725 8799 to Jacob 3290, saying 559 8800, We came 935 8804 to thy brother 251 Esau 6215, and also he cometh 1980 8802 to meet thee 7125 8800, and four hundred 3967 men 376 with him.

32:7 Then Jacob 3290 was greatly 3966 afraid 3372 8799 and distressed 3334 8799: and he divided 2673 8799 the people 5971 that [was] with him, and the flocks 6629, and herds 1241, and the camels 1581, into two 8147 bands 4264;

32:8 And said 559 8799, If Esau 6215 come 935 8799 to the one 259 company 4264, and smite it 5221 8689, then the other company 4264 which is left 7604 8737 shall escape 6413.

32:9 And Jacob 3290 said 559 8799, O God 430 of my father 1 Abraham 85, and God 430 of my father 1 Isaac 3327, the LORD 3068 which saidst 559 8802 unto me, Return 7725 8798 unto thy country 776, and to thy kindred 4138, and I will deal well 3190 8686 with thee:

32:10 I am not worthy of the least 6994 8804 of all the mercies 2617, and of all the truth 571, which thou hast shewed 6213 8804 unto thy servant 5650; for with my staff 4731 I passed over 5674 8804 this Jordan 3383; and now I am become two 8147 bands 4264.(I am not…: Heb. I am less than all)

32:11 Deliver me 5337 8685, I pray thee, from the hand 3027 of my brother 251, from the hand 3027 of Esau 6215: for I fear 3373 him, lest he will come 935 8799 and smite me 5221 8689, [and] the mother 517 with 5921 the children 1121.(with: Heb. upon)

32:12 And thou saidst 559 8804, I will surely 3190 8687 do thee good 3190 8686, and make 7760 8804 thy seed 2233 as the sand 2344 of the sea 3220, which cannot be numbered 5608 8735 for multitude 7230.

32:13 And he lodged 3885 8799 there that same night 3915; and took 3947 8799 of that which came 935 8802 to his hand 3027 a present 4503 for Esau 6215 his brother 251;

32:14 Two hundred 3967 she goats 5795, and twenty 6242 he goats 8495, two hundred 3967 ewes 7353, and twenty 6242 rams 352,

32:15 Thirty 7970 milch 3243 8688 camels 1581 with their colts 1121, forty 705 kine 6510, and ten 6235 bulls 6499, twenty 6242 she asses 860, and ten 6235 foals 5895.

32:16 And he delivered 5414 8799 [them] into the hand 3027 of his servants 5650, every drove 5739 by themselves; and said 559 8799 unto his servants 5650, Pass over 5674 8798 before me 6440, and put 7760 8799 a space 7305 betwixt 996 drove 5739 and 996 drove 5739.

32:17 And he commanded 6680 8762 the foremost 7223, saying 559 8800, When Esau 6215 my brother 251 meeteth thee 6298 8799, and asketh thee 7592 8804, saying 559 8800, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest 3212 8799 thou? and whose [are] these before 6440 thee?

32:18 Then thou shalt say 559 8804, [They be] thy servant 5650 Jacob's 3290; it [is] a present 4503 sent 7971 8803 unto my lord 113 Esau 6215: and, behold, also he [is] behind us 310.

32:19 And so 1571 commanded he 6680 8762 the second 8145, and the third 7992, and all that followed 1980 8802 310 the droves 5739, saying 559 8800, On this manner 1697 shall ye speak 1696 8762 unto Esau 6215, when ye find 4672 8800 him.

32:20 And say ye 559 8804 moreover 1571, Behold, thy servant 5650 Jacob 3290 [is] behind us 310. For he said 559 8804, I will appease 3722 8762 him 6440 with the present 4503 that goeth 1980 8802 before me 6440, and afterward 310 I will see 7200 8799 his face 6440; peradventure he will accept 5375 8799 of me 6440.(of me: Heb. my face)

32:21 So went 5674 0 the present 4503 over 5674 8799 before him 6440: and himself lodged 3885 8804 that night 3915 in the company 4264.

32:22 And he rose up 6965 8799 that night 3915, and took 3947 8799 his two 8147 wives 802, and his two 8147 womenservants 8198, and his eleven 6240 259 sons 3206, and passed over 5674 8799 the ford 4569 Jabbok 2999.

32:23 And he took them 3947 8799, and sent them over 5674 8686 the brook 5158, and sent over 5674 8686 that he had.(sent them: Heb. caused to pass)

32:24 And Jacob 3290 was left 3498 8735 alone; and there wrestled 79 8735 a man 376 with him until the breaking 5927 8800 of the day 7837.(breaking…: Heb. ascending of the morning)

32:25 And when he saw 7200 8799 that he prevailed 3201 8804 not against him, he touched 5060 8799 the hollow of his thigh 3409; and the hollow 3709 of Jacob's 3290 thigh 3409 was out of joint 3363 8799, as he wrestled 79 8736 with him.

32:26 And he said 559 8799, Let me go 7971 8761, for the day 7837 breaketh 5927 8804. And he said 559 8799, I will not let thee go 7971 8762, except 518 thou bless 1288 8765 me.

32:27 And he said 559 8799 unto him, What [is] thy name 8034? And he said 559 8799, Jacob 3290.

32:28 And he said 559 8799, Thy name 8034 shall be called 559 8735 no more Jacob 3290, but Israel 3478: for as a prince hast thou power 8280 8804 with God 430 and with men 582, and hast prevailed 3201 8799.(Israel: that is, A prince of God)

32:29 And Jacob 3290 asked 7592 8799 [him], and said 559 8799, Tell 5046 8685 [me], I pray thee, thy name 8034. And he said 559 8799, Wherefore [is] it 2088 [that] thou dost ask 7592 8799 after my name 8034? And he blessed 1288 8762 him there.

32:30 And Jacob 3290 called 7121 8799 the name 8034 of the place 4725 Peniel 6439: for I have seen 7200 8804 God 430 face 6440 to face 6440, and my life 5315 is preserved 5337 8735.(Peniel: that is, The face of God)

32:31 And as he passed over 5674 8804 Penuel 6439 the sun 8121 rose 2224 8799 upon him, and he halted 6760 8802 upon his thigh 3409.

32:32 Therefore the children 1121 of Israel 3478 eat 398 8799 not [of] the sinew 1517 which shrank 5384, which [is] upon the hollow 3709 of the thigh 3409, unto this day 3117: because he touched 5060 8804 the hollow 3709 of Jacob's 3290 thigh 3409 in the sinew 1517 that shrank 5384.
