And Jacob
went
on his way,
and the angels
of God
met
him.
And when Jacob
saw them,
he said,
This is God's
host:
and he called
the name
of that place
Mahanaim.
And Jacob
sent
messengers
before him
to Esau
his brother
unto the land
of Seir,
the country
of Edom.
And he commanded
them, saying,
Thus shall ye speak
unto my lord
Esau;
Thy servant
Jacob
saith
thus, I have sojourned
with Laban,
and stayed there
until now:
Laban
Λαβαν

And I have oxen,
and asses,
flocks,
and menservants,
and womenservants:
and I have sent
to tell
my lord,
that I may find
grace
in thy sight.
And the messengers
returned
to Jacob,
saying,
We came
to thy brother
Esau,
and also he cometh
to meet thee,
and four hundred
men
with him.
Then Jacob
was greatly
afraid
and distressed:
and he divided
the people
that was with him, and the flocks,
and herds,
and the camels,
into two
bands;
And said,
If Esau
come
to the one
company,
and smite it,
then the other company
which is left
shall escape.
And Jacob
said,
O God
of my father
Abraham,
and God
of my father
Isaac,
the LORD
which saidst
unto me, Return
unto thy country,
and to thy kindred,
and I will deal well
with thee:

ἀπότρεχε

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
bands.
Deliver me,
I pray thee, from the hand
of my brother,
from the hand
of Esau:
for I fear
him, lest he will come
and smite me,
and the mother
with
the children.
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.
And he lodged
there that same night;
and took
of that which came
to his hand
a present
for Esau
his brother;
Two hundred
she goats,
and twenty
he goats,
two hundred
ewes,
and twenty
rams,
Thirty
milch
camels
with their colts,
forty
kine,
and ten
bulls,
twenty
she asses,
and ten
foals.
And he delivered
them into the hand
of his servants,
every drove
by themselves; and said
unto his servants,
Pass over
before me,
and put
a space
betwixt
drove
and
drove.
say
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?
Then thou shalt say,
They be thy servant
Jacob's;
it is a present
sent
unto my lord
Esau:
and, behold, also he is behind us.
And so
commanded he
the second,
and the third,
and all that followed
the droves,
saying,
On this manner
shall ye speak
unto Esau,
when ye find
him.
And say ye
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
of me.

So went
the present
over
before him:
and himself lodged
that night
in the company.
And he rose up
that night,
and took
his two
wives,
and his two
womenservants,
and his eleven
sons,
and passed over
the ford
Jabbok.

And he took them,
and sent them over
the brook,
and sent over
that he had.
And Jacob
was left
alone; and there wrestled
a man
with him until the breaking
of the day.
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 out of joint,
as he wrestled
with him.

And he said,
Let me go,
for the day
breaketh.
And he said,
I will not let thee go,
except
thou bless
me.
And he said
unto him, What is thy name?
And he said,
Jacob.
And he said,
Thy name
shall be called
no more Jacob,
but Israel:
for as a prince hast thou power
with God
and with men,
and hast prevailed.
say
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.
And Jacob
called
the name
of the place
Peniel:
for I have seen
God
face
to face,
and my life
is preserved.
And as he passed over
Penuel
the sun
rose
upon him, and he halted
upon his thigh.
Therefore the children
of Israel
eat
not of the sinew
which shrank,
which is upon the hollow
of the thigh,
unto this day:
because he touched
the hollow
of Jacob's
thigh
in the sinew
that shrank.
