01:032:025 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.
01:032:026 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I
will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
01:032:027 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
01:032:028 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.
01:032:029 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.
01:032:030 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen
God face to face, and my life is preserved.
01:032:031 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he
halted upon his thigh.
01:032:032 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.
01:033:001 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau
came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the
children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two
handmaids.
01:033:002 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah
and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
01:033:003 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the
ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
01:033:004 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his
neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
01:033:005 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children;
and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children
which God hath graciously given thy servant.
01:033:006 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and
they bowed themselves.
01:033:007 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed
themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they
bowed themselves.
01:033:008 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met?
And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
01:033:009 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast
unto thyself.
01:033:010 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in
thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I
have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and
thou wast pleased with me.
