9 | 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: | H · G · S Jacob said, O God |
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. | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S |
13 | And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother; | H · G · S |
14 | Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, | H · G · S |
15 | Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals. | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S |
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? | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S a present |
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. | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S |
21 | So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company. | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S |
23 |

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. | H · G · S wrestled a man |
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. | H · G · S |
26 | And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. | H · G · S |
27 | And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. | H · G · S |
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. | H · G · S Israel |
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. | H · G · S |
30 | And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. | H · G · S |
31 | And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. | H · G · S |
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.
