9
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the L
ORD
which
saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
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 bands.
11
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.
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.
13
And he lodged
there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14
Two
hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15
Thirty milch camels
with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16
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.
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?
18
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.
19
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.
20
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.
21
So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that
night in the company.
22
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.
23
And he took them, and
sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
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 out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26
And he said, Let me go, for
the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27
And he said unto him,
What
is
thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28
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.
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.
30
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I
have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose
upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32
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.
