And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments. |
|
 32:2
And whenº
Jacobº
sawº
them,ºº
he said,ºº
Thisº
[is] Elohim'sº
host:º
and he calledºº
the nameº
of thatº
placeº
Mahanaim.º |

sentºº
messengersº
beforeº
himº
toº
Esauº
his brotherº
unto the landº
of Seir,º
the countryº
of Edom.º |
 32:4
And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now. |
|
 32:4
And he commandedºº
them, saying,ºº
Thusº
shall ye speakºº
unto my adonº
Esau;º
Thy servantº
Jacobº
saithºº
thus,º
I have sojournedºº
withº
Laban,º
and stayed thereºº
untilº
now:º |
 32:5
And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and men-servants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that thy servant might find grace in thy sight. |
|
 32:5
And I haveº
oxen,º
and asses,º
flocks,º
and menservants,º
and womenservants:º
and I have sentºº
to tellºº
my adon,º
that I may findºº
graceº
in thy sight.º |

And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and lo! he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. |
|
 32:6 ¶
And the messengersº
returnedºº
toº
Jacob,º
saying,ºº
We cameºº
toº
thy brotherº
Esau,º
and alsoº
he comethºº
to meetº
thee,ºº
and fourº
hundredº
menº
withº
him. |
 32:7
And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps. |
|
 32:7
Then Jacobº
was greatlyº
afraidººº
and distressed:ºº
and he dividedººº
the peopleº
thatº
[was] withº
him, and the flocks,º
and herds,º
and the camels,º
into twoº
bands;º |
 32:8
And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and smite it, the other camp shall be in safety. |
|
 32:8
And said,ºº
Ifº
Esauº
comeºº
toº
the oneº
company,º
and smiteº
it,ºº
then the other companyº
which is leftºº
shall escape.º |
 32:9 ¶
And Jacob said, God of my father Abraham{gr.Abraam}, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, thou [art] he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of thy birth, and I will do thee good. |
|
 32:9 ¶
And Jacobº
said,ºº
O Elohimº
of my fatherº
Abraham,º
and Elohimº
of my fatherº
Isaac,º
Yahwehº
which saidstºº
untoº
me, Returnºº
unto thy country,º
and to thy kindred,º
and I will deal wellºº
withº
thee: |
 32:10
Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which thou hast wrought with thy servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps. |
|
 32:10
I am not worthyº
of the leastºº
of allºº
the mercies,º
and of allºº
the truth,º
whichº
thou hast shewedºº
untoº
thy servant;º
forº
with my staffº
I passed overººº
thisº
Jordan;º
and nowº
I am becomeº
twoº
bands.º |
 32:11
Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and smite me, and the mother upon the children. |
|
 32:11
Deliverº
me,ºº
I pray thee,º
from the handºº
of my brother,º
from the handºº
of Esau:º
forº
Iº
fearºº
him, lestº
he will comeºº
and smiteº
me,ºº
[and] the motherº
withº
the children.º |
 32:12
But thou saidst, I will do thee good, and will make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude. |
|
 32:12
And thouº
saidst,ºº
I will surelyºº
do thee good,ººº
and makeººº
thy seedº
as the sandº
of the sea,º
whichº
cannotº
be numberedºº
for multitude.ºº |

And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried [with him], and sent out to Esau his brother, |
|
 32:13 ¶
And he lodgedºº
thereº
that sameº
night;º
and tookºº
ofº
that which cameºº
to his handº
a presentº
for Esauº
his brother;º |
 32:14
two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams, |
|
 32:14
Two hundredº
she goats,º
and twentyº
he goats,º
two hundredº
ewes,º
and twentyº
rams,º |
 32:15
milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts. |
|
 32:15
Thirtyº
milchºº
camelsº
with their colts,º
fortyº
kine,º
and tenº
bulls,º
twentyº
she asses,º
and tenº
foals.º |
 32:16
And he gave them to his servants [each] drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove. |
|
 32:16
And he deliveredºº
[them] into the handº
of his servants,º
every droveº
by themselves;º
and saidºº
untoº
his servants,º
Pass overºº
beforeº
me,º
and putºº
a spaceº
betwixtº
droveº
andº
drove.º |
 32:17
And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet thee, and he ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither wouldest thou go, and whose are these possessions advancing before thee? |
|
 32:17
And he commandedººº
the foremost,º
saying,ºº
Whenº
Esauº
my brotherº
meetethº
thee,ºº
and askethº
thee,ºº
saying,ºº
Whoseº
[art] thou?º
and whitherº
goestººº
thou? and whoseº
[are] theseº
beforeº
thee? |
 32:18
Thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's; he hath sent gifts to my lord Esau, and lo! he is behind us. |
|
 32:18
Then thou shalt say,ºº
[They be] thy servantº
Jacob's;º
itº
[is] a presentº
sentºº
unto my adonº
Esau:º
and, behold,º
alsoº
heº
[is] behindº
us.º |
 32:19
And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him; |
|
 32:19
And soº
commandedº
heººº
the second,º
andºº
the third,º
andºº
allº
that followedººº
the droves,º
saying,ºº
On thisº
mannerº
shall ye speakºº
untoº
Esau,º
when ye findºº
him. |
 32:20
and ye shall say, Behold thy servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for peradventure he will accept me. |
|
 32:20
And sayº
yeºº
moreover,º
Behold,º
thy servantº
Jacobº
[is] behindº
us.º
Forº
he said,ºº
I will appeaseººº
himº
with the presentº
that goethºº
beforeº
me,º
and afterwardºº
I will seeºº
his face;º
peradventureº
he will acceptººº
of me.º |
 32:21
So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp. |
|
 32:21
So wentºº
the presentº
overºº
beforeºº
him:º
and himselfº
lodgedºº
thatº
nightº
in the company.º |
 32:22
And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch. |
|
 32:22
And he rose upºº
thatº
night,º
and tookººº
his twoº
wives,º
and his twoº
womenservants,º
and his elevenºº
sons,º
and passed overººº
the fordº
Jabbok.º |
 32:23
And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions. |
|
 32:23
And he tookº
them,ºº
and sent them overººº
the brook,º
and sent overººº
thatº
he had. |
 32:24 ¶
And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning. |
|
 32:24 ¶
And Jacobº
was leftºº
alone;º
and there wrestledºº
a manº
withº
him untilº
the breakingºº
of the day.º |
 32:25
And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob's thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him. |
|
 32:25
And when he sawºº
thatº
he prevailedºº
notº
against him, he touchedºº
the hollowº
of his thigh;º
and the hollowº
of Jacob'sº
thighº
was out of joint,ºº
as he wrestledºº
withº
him. |
 32:26
And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. |
|
 32:26
And he said,ºº
Let me go,ºº
forº
the dayº
breaketh.ºº
And he said,ºº
I will notº
let thee go,ºº
exceptºº
thou blessºº
me. |
 32:27
And he said to him, What is thy name? and he answered, Jacob. |
|
 32:27
And he saidºº
untoº
him, Whatº
[is] thy name?º
And he said,ºº
Jacob.º |
 32:28
And he said to him, Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; for thou hast prevailed with God, and shalt be mighty with men. |
|
 32:28
And he said,ºº
Thy nameº
shall be calledºº
noº
moreº
Jacob,º
butºº
Israel:º
forº
as a prince hast thou powerºº
withº
Elohimº
and withº
men,ºº
and hast prevailed.ºº |
 32:29
And Jacob asked and said, Tell me thy name; and he said, Wherefore dost thou ask after my name? and he blessed him there. |
|
 32:29
And Jacobº
askedºº
[him], and said,ºº
Tellºº
[me], I pray thee,º
thy name.º
And he said,ºº
Whereforeº
[is] itº
[that] thou dost askºº
after my name?º
And he blessedºº
him there.º |
 32:30
And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, [said he], I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved. |
|
 32:30
And Jacobº
calledºº
the nameº
of the placeº
Peniel:º
forº
I have seenºº
Elohimº
faceº
toº
face,º
and my lifeº
is preserved.ºº |
 32:31
And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh. |
|
 32:31
And asº
he passed overººº
Penuelº
the sunº
roseºº
upon him, and heº
haltedºº
uponº
his thigh.º |
 32:32
Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because [the angel] touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob-- [even] the sinew which was benumbed. |
|
 32:32
Thereforeºº
the childrenº
of Israelº
eatºº
notº
[of]º
the sinewº
which shrank,º
whichº
[is] uponº
the hollowº
of the thigh,º
untoº
thisº
day:º
becauseº
he touchedºº
the hollowº
of Jacob'sº
thighº
in the sinewº
that shrank.º |
