01:032:019 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.
01:032:020 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.
01:032:021 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that
night in the company.
01:032:022 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.
01:032:023 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over
that he had.
01:032:024 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him
until the breaking of the day.
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.
