Genesis

Chapter 32

1 And Jacob3290 went1980 on his way,1870 and the angels4397 of God430 met6293 him.

2 And when834 Jacob3290 saw7200 them, he said,559 This2088 is God's430 host:4264 and he called7121 the name8034 of that1931 place4725 Mahanaim.4266

3 And Jacob3290 sent7971 messengers4397 before6440 him to413 Esau6215 his brother251 unto the land776 of Seir,8165 the country7704 of Edom.123

4 And he commanded6680 them, saying,559 Thus3541 shall ye speak559 unto my lord113 Esau;6215 Thy servant5650 Jacob3290 saith559 thus,3541 I have sojourned1481 with5973 Laban,3837 and stayed there309 until5704 now: 6258

5 And I have1961 oxen,7794 and asses,2543 flocks,6629 and menservants,5650 and womenservants:8198 and I have sent7971 to tell5046 my lord,113 that I may find4672 grace2580 in thy sight.5869

6 And the messengers4397 returned7725 to413 Jacob,3290 saying,559 We came935 to413 thy brother251 Esau,6215 and also1571 he cometh1980 to meet7125 thee, and four702 hundred3967 men376 with5973 him.

7 Then Jacob3290 was greatly afraid3372 3966 and distressed:3334 and he divided2673 853 the people5971 that834 was with854 him, and the flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and the camels,1581 into two8147 bands;4264

8 And said,559 If518 Esau6215 come935 to413 the one259 company,4264 and smite5221 it, then the other company4264 which is left7604 shall escape.6413

9 And Jacob3290 said,559 O God430 of my father1 Abraham,85 and God430 of my father1 Isaac,3327 the LORD3068 which saidst559 unto413 me, Return7725 unto thy country,776 and to thy kindred,4138 and I will deal well3190 with5973 thee:

10 I am not worthy6994 of the least of all4480 3605 the mercies,2617 and of all4480 3605 the truth,571 which834 thou hast showed6213 unto853 thy servant;5650 for3588 with my staff4731 I passed over5674 853 this2088 Jordan;3383 and now6258 I am become1961 two8147 bands.4264

11 Deliver5337 me, I pray thee,4994 from the hand4480 3027 of my brother,251 from the hand4480 3027 of Esau:6215 for3588 I595 fear3372 him, lest6435 he will come935 and smite5221 me, and the mother517 with5921 the children.1121

12 And thou859 saidst,559 I will surely do thee good,3190 3190 5973 and make7760 853 thy seed2233 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 which834 cannot3808 be numbered5608 for multitude.4480 7230

13 And he lodged3885 there8033 that same1931 night;3915 and took3947 of4480 that which came935 to his hand3027 a present4503 for Esau6215 his brother;251

14 Two hundred3967 she goats,5795 and twenty6242 he goats,8495 two hundred3967 ewes,7353 and twenty6242 rams,352

15 Thirty7970 milch3243 camels1581 with their colts,1121 forty705 kine,6510 and ten6235 bulls,6499 twenty6242 she asses,860 and ten6235 foals.5895

16 And he delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of his servants,5650 every drove5739 5739 by themselves;905 and said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Pass over5674 before6440 me, and put7760 a space7305 between996 drove5739 and drove.5739

17 And he commanded6680 853 the foremost,7223 saying,559 When3588 Esau6215 my brother251 meeteth6298 thee, and asketh7592 thee, saying,559 Whose4310 art thou?859 and whither575 goest1980 thou? and whose4310 are these428 before6440 thee?

18 Then thou shalt say,559 They be thy servant5650 Jacob's;3290 it1931 is a present4503 sent7971 unto my lord113 Esau:6215 and, behold,2009 also1571 he1931 is behind310 us.

19 And so1571 commanded6680 he853 the second,8145 and1571 853 the third,7992 and1571 853 all3605 that followed1980 310 the droves,5739 saying,559 On this2088 manner1697 shall ye speak1696 unto413 Esau,6215 when ye find4672 him.

20 And say559 ye moreover,1571 Behold,2009 thy servant5650 Jacob3290 is behind310 us. For3588 he said,559 I will appease3722 6440 him with the present4503 that goeth1980 before6440 me, and afterward310 3651 I will see7200 his face;6440 peradventure194 he will accept5375 6440 of me.

21 So went5674 the present4503 over before5921 6440 him: and himself1931 lodged3885 that1931 night3915 in the company.4264

22 And he rose up6965 that1931 night,3915 and took3947 853 his two8147 wives,802 and his two8147 womenservants,8198 and his eleven259 6240 sons,3206 and passed over5674 853 the ford4569 Jabbok.2999

23 And he took3947 them, and sent them over5674 853 the brook,5158 and sent over5674 853 that834 he had.

24 And Jacob3290 was left3498 alone;905 and there wrestled79 a man376 with5973 him until5704 the breaking5927 of the day.7837

25 And when he saw7200 that3588 he prevailed3201 not3808 against him, he touched5060 the hollow3709 of his thigh;3409 and the hollow3709 of Jacob's3290 thigh3409 was out of joint,3363 as he wrestled79 with5973 him.

26 And he said,559 Let me go,7971 for3588 the day7837 breaketh.5927 And he said,559 I will not3808 let thee go,7971 except3588 518 thou bless1288 me.

27 And he said559 unto413 him, What4100 is thy name?8034 And he said,559 Jacob.3290

28 And he said,559 Thy name8034 shall be called559 no3808 more5750 Jacob,3290 but3588 518 Israel:3478 for3588 as a prince hast thou power8280 with5973 God430 and with5973 men,376 and hast prevailed.3201

29 And Jacob3290 asked7592 him, and said,559 Tell5046 me, I pray thee,4994 thy name.8034 And he said,559 Wherefore4100 is it2088 that thou dost ask7592 after my name?8034 And he blessed1288 him there.8033

30 And Jacob3290 called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 Peniel:6439 for3588 I have seen7200 God430 face6440 to413 face,6440 and my life5315 is preserved.5337

31 And as834 he passed over5674 853 Penuel6439 the sun8121 rose2224 upon him, and he1931 halted6760 upon5921 his thigh.3409

32 Therefore5921 3651 the children1121 of Israel3478 eat398 not3808 of853 the sinew1517 which shrank,5384 which834 is upon5921 the hollow3709 of the thigh,3409 unto5704 this2088 day:3117 because3588 he touched5060 the hollow3709 of Jacob's3290 thigh3409 in the sinew1517 that shrank.5384

Chapter 32

1 AND Jacob also went on his journey, and the angels of God met him.

2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host; so he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you speak to my lord Esau; Thus says your servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now;

5 I have oxen, asses, flocks, menservants, and maidservants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find mercy in your sight.

6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.

7 Then Jacob was afraid and greatly distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups;

8 And Jacob said, If my brother Esau should come against one group and destroy it, then the group which is left shall escape.

9 And Jacob prayed, and said. O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who didst say to me, Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you;

10 I am not worthy of the least of all thy favors, and of all the truth that thou hast shown to thy servant; for alone with my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hands of my brother Esau; for I am afraid of him, lest he will come to smite me, and the mothers with their children.

12 And thou didst say, I will surely do you good, and make your descendants numerous as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered for multitude.

13 And he spent that night there; and took of that which he had with him as a present for his brother Esau;

14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

16 And he entrusted them to his servants, every drove by itself; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and keep a distance between drove and drove.

17 And he commanded the leader of the first drove, and said to him, When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying, Who are you? and where are you going? and whose are these that are before you?

18 Then you shall say to him, They belong to your servant Jacob; they are a present which he has sent to my lord Esau; and, behold, also he is coming behind us.

19 And so he commanded the second and the third and all who followed with the droves, saying. In this manner you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

20 And you shall say to him, moreover, Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us. For he said, I may appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; and perhaps he will accept me.

21 So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the encampment.

22 And he rose up in the night, and took his two wives and his two maidservants and his eleven sons, and led them to the desert of Jabbok.

23 And he took them, and brought them over the brook, and then he brought across everything that he had.

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

25 And when the man saw that he did not prevail 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.

26 And the man said to him, Let me go, for day is breaking. And he said, I will not let you go unless you bless me.

27 And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

28 And he said to him. Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel (the Prince of God); for you have proved your strength wrestling with an angel and with man, and have prevailed.

29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me your name. And he said, Why is it that you ask my name? And the angel blessed him there.

30 And Jacob called the name of that place Peniel; for be said, I have seen an angel face to face, and my life is preserved.

31 The sun rose upon him just as he left Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.

32 That is why the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day; because the angel touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the thigh.

Chapter 32

1 And Jacob3290 went1980 on his way,1870 and the angels4397 of God430 met6293 him.

1 AND Jacob also went on his journey, and the angels of God met him.

2 And when834 Jacob3290 saw7200 them, he said,559 This2088 is God's430 host:4264 and he called7121 the name8034 of that1931 place4725 Mahanaim.4266

2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host; so he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

3 And Jacob3290 sent7971 messengers4397 before6440 him to413 Esau6215 his brother251 unto the land776 of Seir,8165 the country7704 of Edom.123

3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

4 And he commanded6680 them, saying,559 Thus3541 shall ye speak559 unto my lord113 Esau;6215 Thy servant5650 Jacob3290 saith559 thus,3541 I have sojourned1481 with5973 Laban,3837 and stayed there309 until5704 now: 6258

4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you speak to my lord Esau; Thus says your servant Jacob, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now;

5 And I have1961 oxen,7794 and asses,2543 flocks,6629 and menservants,5650 and womenservants:8198 and I have sent7971 to tell5046 my lord,113 that I may find4672 grace2580 in thy sight.5869

5 I have oxen, asses, flocks, menservants, and maidservants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find mercy in your sight.

6 And the messengers4397 returned7725 to413 Jacob,3290 saying,559 We came935 to413 thy brother251 Esau,6215 and also1571 he cometh1980 to meet7125 thee, and four702 hundred3967 men376 with5973 him.

6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and behold he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.

7 Then Jacob3290 was greatly afraid3372 3966 and distressed:3334 and he divided2673 853 the people5971 that834 was with854 him, and the flocks,6629 and herds,1241 and the camels,1581 into two8147 bands;4264

7 Then Jacob was afraid and greatly distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two groups;

8 And said,559 If518 Esau6215 come935 to413 the one259 company,4264 and smite5221 it, then the other company4264 which is left7604 shall escape.6413

8 And Jacob said, If my brother Esau should come against one group and destroy it, then the group which is left shall escape.

9 And Jacob3290 said,559 O God430 of my father1 Abraham,85 and God430 of my father1 Isaac,3327 the LORD3068 which saidst559 unto413 me, Return7725 unto thy country,776 and to thy kindred,4138 and I will deal well3190 with5973 thee:

9 And Jacob prayed, and said. O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who didst say to me, Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you;

10 I am not worthy6994 of the least of all4480 3605 the mercies,2617 and of all4480 3605 the truth,571 which834 thou hast showed6213 unto853 thy servant;5650 for3588 with my staff4731 I passed over5674 853 this2088 Jordan;3383 and now6258 I am become1961 two8147 bands.4264

10 I am not worthy of the least of all thy favors, and of all the truth that thou hast shown to thy servant; for alone with my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.

11 Deliver5337 me, I pray thee,4994 from the hand4480 3027 of my brother,251 from the hand4480 3027 of Esau:6215 for3588 I595 fear3372 him, lest6435 he will come935 and smite5221 me, and the mother517 with5921 the children.1121

11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hands of my brother Esau; for I am afraid of him, lest he will come to smite me, and the mothers with their children.

12 And thou859 saidst,559 I will surely do thee good,3190 3190 5973 and make7760 853 thy seed2233 as the sand2344 of the sea,3220 which834 cannot3808 be numbered5608 for multitude.4480 7230

12 And thou didst say, I will surely do you good, and make your descendants numerous as the sand of the sea which cannot be numbered for multitude.

13 And he lodged3885 there8033 that same1931 night;3915 and took3947 of4480 that which came935 to his hand3027 a present4503 for Esau6215 his brother;251

13 And he spent that night there; and took of that which he had with him as a present for his brother Esau;

14 Two hundred3967 she goats,5795 and twenty6242 he goats,8495 two hundred3967 ewes,7353 and twenty6242 rams,352

14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

15 Thirty7970 milch3243 camels1581 with their colts,1121 forty705 kine,6510 and ten6235 bulls,6499 twenty6242 she asses,860 and ten6235 foals.5895

15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

16 And he delivered5414 them into the hand3027 of his servants,5650 every drove5739 5739 by themselves;905 and said559 unto413 his servants,5650 Pass over5674 before6440 me, and put7760 a space7305 between996 drove5739 and drove.5739

16 And he entrusted them to his servants, every drove by itself; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and keep a distance between drove and drove.

17 And he commanded6680 853 the foremost,7223 saying,559 When3588 Esau6215 my brother251 meeteth6298 thee, and asketh7592 thee, saying,559 Whose4310 art thou?859 and whither575 goest1980 thou? and whose4310 are these428 before6440 thee?

17 And he commanded the leader of the first drove, and said to him, When Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying, Who are you? and where are you going? and whose are these that are before you?

18 Then thou shalt say,559 They be thy servant5650 Jacob's;3290 it1931 is a present4503 sent7971 unto my lord113 Esau:6215 and, behold,2009 also1571 he1931 is behind310 us.

18 Then you shall say to him, They belong to your servant Jacob; they are a present which he has sent to my lord Esau; and, behold, also he is coming behind us.

19 And so1571 commanded6680 he853 the second,8145 and1571 853 the third,7992 and1571 853 all3605 that followed1980 310 the droves,5739 saying,559 On this2088 manner1697 shall ye speak1696 unto413 Esau,6215 when ye find4672 him.

19 And so he commanded the second and the third and all who followed with the droves, saying. In this manner you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

20 And say559 ye moreover,1571 Behold,2009 thy servant5650 Jacob3290 is behind310 us. For3588 he said,559 I will appease3722 6440 him with the present4503 that goeth1980 before6440 me, and afterward310 3651 I will see7200 his face;6440 peradventure194 he will accept5375 6440 of me.

20 And you shall say to him, moreover, Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us. For he said, I may appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; and perhaps he will accept me.

21 So went5674 the present4503 over before5921 6440 him: and himself1931 lodged3885 that1931 night3915 in the company.4264

21 So the present went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the encampment.

22 And he rose up6965 that1931 night,3915 and took3947 853 his two8147 wives,802 and his two8147 womenservants,8198 and his eleven259 6240 sons,3206 and passed over5674 853 the ford4569 Jabbok.2999

22 And he rose up in the night, and took his two wives and his two maidservants and his eleven sons, and led them to the desert of Jabbok.

23 And he took3947 them, and sent them over5674 853 the brook,5158 and sent over5674 853 that834 he had.

23 And he took them, and brought them over the brook, and then he brought across everything that he had.

24 And Jacob3290 was left3498 alone;905 and there wrestled79 a man376 with5973 him until5704 the breaking5927 of the day.7837

24 And Jacob was left alone; and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

25 And when he saw7200 that3588 he prevailed3201 not3808 against him, he touched5060 the hollow3709 of his thigh;3409 and the hollow3709 of Jacob's3290 thigh3409 was out of joint,3363 as he wrestled79 with5973 him.

25 And when the man saw that he did not prevail 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.

26 And he said,559 Let me go,7971 for3588 the day7837 breaketh.5927 And he said,559 I will not3808 let thee go,7971 except3588 518 thou bless1288 me.

26 And the man said to him, Let me go, for day is breaking. And he said, I will not let you go unless you bless me.

27 And he said559 unto413 him, What4100 is thy name?8034 And he said,559 Jacob.3290

27 And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

28 And he said,559 Thy name8034 shall be called559 no3808 more5750 Jacob,3290 but3588 518 Israel:3478 for3588 as a prince hast thou power8280 with5973 God430 and with5973 men,376 and hast prevailed.3201

28 And he said to him. Your name shall no more be called Jacob, but Israel (the Prince of God); for you have proved your strength wrestling with an angel and with man, and have prevailed.

29 And Jacob3290 asked7592 him, and said,559 Tell5046 me, I pray thee,4994 thy name.8034 And he said,559 Wherefore4100 is it2088 that thou dost ask7592 after my name?8034 And he blessed1288 him there.8033

29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me your name. And he said, Why is it that you ask my name? And the angel blessed him there.

30 And Jacob3290 called7121 the name8034 of the place4725 Peniel:6439 for3588 I have seen7200 God430 face6440 to413 face,6440 and my life5315 is preserved.5337

30 And Jacob called the name of that place Peniel; for be said, I have seen an angel face to face, and my life is preserved.

31 And as834 he passed over5674 853 Penuel6439 the sun8121 rose2224 upon him, and he1931 halted6760 upon5921 his thigh.3409

31 The sun rose upon him just as he left Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.

32 Therefore5921 3651 the children1121 of Israel3478 eat398 not3808 of853 the sinew1517 which shrank,5384 which834 is upon5921 the hollow3709 of the thigh,3409 unto5704 this2088 day:3117 because3588 he touched5060 the hollow3709 of Jacob's3290 thigh3409 in the sinew1517 that shrank.5384

32 That is why the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day; because the angel touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the thigh.
