AND Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000964">2</a>. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000965">3</a>. And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000966">4</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000967">5</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000968">6</a>. And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000969">7</a>. Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000970">8</a>. And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000971">9</a>. 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:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000972">10</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000973">11</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000974">12</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000975">13</a>. And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000976">14</a>. Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000977">15</a>. Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000978">16</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000979">17</a>. 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?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000980">18</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000981">19</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000982">20</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000983">21</a>. So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000984">22</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000985">23</a>. And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000986">24</a>. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000987">25</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000988">26</a>. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh.  And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000989">27</a>. And he said unto him, What is thy name?  And he said, Jacob.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000990">28</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000991">29</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000992">30</a>. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000993">31</a>. And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000994">32</a>. 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.</li>
