Genesis 32
32:1And Jacob went forth into his own way. And having looked up, he saw the camp of God encamped. And the angels of God met with him.
32:2And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place, Camps.
32:3And Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau his brother, into the land of Seir into the region of Edom.
32:4And he gave charge to them, saying, Thus you shall say to my master Esau; Thus says your servant Jacob, I sojourned with Laban, and passed time until the present.
32:5And came to me oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, and manservants, and maidservants. And I sent to announce to my master Esau, that your servant might find favor before you.
32:6And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau. And behold, he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.
32:7And Jacob feared exceedingly, and he was perplexed. And he divided the people, the one with himself, and the oxen, and the sheep into two camps.
32:8And Jacob said, If Esau should come into one camp and should smite it, the second camp will be for delivering.
32:9And Jacob said, The God of my father Abraham, and the God of my father Isaac, O lord, the one saying to me, Run to the land of your birth! and I will do good to you.
32:10It is fit to me for all righteousness, and of all truth, of which you did to your servant; for with this my rod I passed over this Jordan, and now I exist in two camps.
32:11Rescue me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau! For I fear him, lest coming he should strike me, and the mother with children.
32:12But you, you said, I will do you good, and I will establish your seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be counted by the multitude.
32:13And he went to sleep there that night. And he took gifts of which he brought, and he sent to Esau his brother;
32:14goats -- two hundred; he-goats -- twenty; sheep -- two hundred; rams -- twenty;
32:15camels nursing and their offspring -- thirty; oxen -- forty; bulls -- ten; donkeys -- twenty; and foals -- ten.
32:16And he gave them by hand to his servants a flock alone. And he said to his servants, You go forth in front of me, and make a space between flock and flock.
32:17And he gave charge to the first, saying, If Esau my brother should meet you, and he should ask you, saying, Who are you? and where might you go? and who are these going before you?
32:18You shall say, Your servant Jacob has sent gifts to my master Esau. And behold, he is behind us.
32:19And he gave charge to the first, and to the second, and to the third, and to all the ones going before behind these flocks, saying, According to this saying you speak to Esau when you find him!
32:20And you shall say, Behold, your servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will appease his face by the gifts going before him; and after this I will see his countenance, for perhaps he will favorably receive my person.
32:21And the gifts went before his face. And he went to sleep that night in the camp.
32:22And rising that night, he took the two wives, and the two maidservants, and the eleven children of his, and he passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
32:23And he took them, and passed over the rushing stream, and he caused to pass over all the ones of his.
32:24And Jacob was left behind alone, and a man wrestled with him until morning.
32:25And he saw that he was not able to prevail against him; and he touched the wide part of his thigh, and he paralyzed the wide part of the thigh of Jacob in his wrestling with him.
32:26And he said to him, You send me away! for the dawn ascended. And he said, No way will I send you away if you should not bless me.
32:27And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
32:28And he said to him, your name shall not any longer be called Jacob, but Israel will be your name; for you grew in strength against God, and against mighty men.
32:29And Jacob asked and said, Announce to me your name! And he said, Why is this you ask my name, which is wonderful? And he blessed him there.
32:30And Jacob called the name of that place, Sight of God. For I saw God face to face, and my life was delivered.
32:31And the sun arose to him when he went by the form of God, but he was limping in his thigh.
32:32Because of this, no way do the sons of Israel eat the nerve by which he was paralyzed, which is upon the wide part of the thigh, until this day. For he touched the wide part of the thigh of Jacob, of the nerve, in which he was paralyzed.
