jub@Genesis:32:1 @ And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

jub@Genesis:32:2 @ And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host; and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

jub@Genesis:32:3 @ And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

jub@Genesis:32:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau: Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban and stayed there until now;

jub@Genesis:32:5 @ and I have oxen and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.

jub@Genesis:32:6 @ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

jub@Genesis:32:7 @ Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed, and he divided the people that [were] with him, and the sheep and the cows and the camels, into two bands

jub@Genesis:32:8 @ and said, If Esau comes to the one company and smites it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

jub@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said unto me, Return unto thy country and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee.

jub@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan and now I am become two bands.

jub@Genesis:32:11 @ Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him lest he come and smite me [and] the mother with the children.

jub@Genesis:32:12 @ And thou hast said, I will surely do thee good and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

jub@Genesis:32:13 @ And he lodged there that same night and took of that which came to his hand [as] a present for Esau his brother:

jub@Genesis:32:14 @ two hundred she goats and twenty he goats, two hundred sheep and twenty rams,

jub@Genesis:32:15 @ thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

jub@Genesis:32:16 @ And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves and said unto his servants, Pass before me and put a space between drove and drove.

jub@Genesis:32:17 @ And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau, my brother, meets thee and asks thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? And where goest thou? And for whom [are] these before thee?

jub@Genesis:32:18 @ Then thou shalt say, [They are] thy servant Jacob's; it [is] a present sent unto my lord Esau; and, behold, also he [is] behind us.

jub@Genesis:32:19 @ And so commanded he the second and the third and all that followed those droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau when ye find him.

jub@Genesis:32:20 @ And ye shall also say, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us. For he said, I will reconcile his wrath with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept me.

jub@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present went over before him, and he lodged that night in the company.

jub@Genesis:32:22 @ 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.

jub@Genesis:32:23 @ And he took them and sent them over the brook and sent over [all] that he had.

jub@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.

jub@Genesis:32:25 @ 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 disjointed as he wrestled with him.

jub@Genesis:32:26 @ And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.

jub@Genesis:32:27 @ And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.

jub@Genesis:32:28 @ And he said, Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast fought with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

jub@Genesis:32:29 @ And Jacob asked [him] and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Why dost thou ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

jub@Genesis:32:30 @ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for I have seen God face to face, and my soul was saved.

jub@Genesis:32:31 @ And as he passed over Penuel, the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.

jub@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore the sons of Israel do not eat [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.:
