1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. RV1885 — Genesis 32:1
2 And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim. RV1885 — Genesis 32:2
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom. RV1885 — Genesis 32:3
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau; Thus saith thy servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now: RV1885 — Genesis 32:4
5 and I have oxen, and asses and flocks, and menservants ard maidservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. RV1885 — Genesis 32:5
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. RV1885 — Genesis 32:6
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies; RV1885 — Genesis 32:7
8 and he said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the company which is left shall escape. RV1885 — Genesis 32:8
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good: RV1885 — Genesis 32:9
10 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 companies. RV1885 — 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 come and smite me, the mother with the children. RV1885 — 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. RV1885 — Genesis 32:12
13 And he lodged there that night; and took of that which he had with him a present for Esau his brother; RV1885 — Genesis 32:13
14 two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, RV1885 — Genesis 32:14
15 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty kine and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. RV1885 — Genesis 32:15
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove. RV1885 — 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? RV1885 — Genesis 32:17
18 then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, he also is behind us. RV1885 — Genesis 32:18
19 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him; RV1885 — Genesis 32:19
20 and ye shall say, 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 me. RV1885 — Genesis 32:20
21 So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the company. RV1885 — Genesis 32:21
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of Jabbok. RV1885 — Genesis 32:22
23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that he had. RV1885 — Genesis 32:23
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. RV1885 — 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 strained, as he wrestled with him. RV1885 — 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. RV1885 — Genesis 32:26
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. RV1885 — Genesis 32:27
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed. RV1885 — Genesis 32:28
29 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. RV1885 — Genesis 32:29
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, said he, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. RV1885 — Genesis 32:30
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Penuel, and he halted upon his thigh. RV1885 — Genesis 32:31
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip. RV1885 — Genesis 32:32
