创32:12And thou saidst, I will certainly deal well with thee, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

创32:13And he lodged there that night; and took of what came to his hand a gift for Esau his brother --

创32:14two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats; two hundred ewes, and twenty rams;

创32:15thirty milch camels with their colts; forty kine, and ten bulls; twenty she-asses, and ten young asses.

创32:16And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.

创32:17And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou, and where goest thou, and whose are these before thee?

创32:18-- then thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob's: it is a gift sent to my lord, to Esau. And behold, he also is behind us.

创32:19And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, According to this word shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him.

创32:20And, moreover, ye shall say, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will propitiate him with the gift that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face: perhaps he will accept me.

创32:21And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

创32:22And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok;

创32:23and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.

创32:24And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.

创32:25And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the joint of his thigh; and the joint of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him.

创32:26And he said, Let me go, for the dawn ariseth. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.

创32:27And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

创32:28And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.

创32:29And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.

创32:30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel -- For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.

创32:31And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.
