Genesis 32:1--33:20

32:1

And Jacob
<03290>

went
<01980> (8804)

on his way
<01870>_,

and the angels
<04397>

of God
<0430>

met
<06293> (8799)

him.

32:2

And when Jacob
<03290>

saw them
<07200> (8804)_,

he said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] God's
<0430>

host
<04264>_:

and he called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of that place
<04725>

Mahanaim
<04266>_.

{Mahanaim: that is, Two hosts, or, camps}

32:3

And Jacob
<03290>

sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

before him
<06440>

to Esau
<06215>

his brother
<0251>

unto the land
<0776>

of Seir
<08165>_,

the country
<07704>

of Edom
<0123>_.

{country: Heb. field}

32:4

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus shall ye speak
<0559> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>

Esau
<06215>_;

Thy servant
<05650>

Jacob
<03290>

saith
<0559> (8804)

thus, I have sojourned
<01481> (8804)

with Laban
<03837>_,

and stayed there
<0309> (8799)

until now:

32:5

And I have oxen
<07794>_,

and asses
<02543>_,

flocks
<06629>_,

and menservants
<05650>_,

and womenservants
<08198>_:

and I have sent
<07971> (8799)

to tell
<05046> (8687)

my lord
<0113>_,

that I may find
<04672> (8800)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_.

32:6

And the messengers
<04397>

returned
<07725> (8799)

to Jacob
<03290>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

We came
<0935> (8804)

to thy brother
<0251>

Esau
<06215>_,

and also he cometh
<01980> (8802)

to meet thee
<07125> (8800)_,

and four hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

with him.

32:7

Then Jacob
<03290>

was greatly
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)

and distressed
<03334> (8799)_:

and he divided
<02673> (8799)

the people
<05971>

that [was] with him, and the flocks
<06629>_,

and herds
<01241>_,

and the camels
<01581>_,

into two
<08147>

bands
<04264>_;

32:8

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

If Esau
<06215>

come
<0935> (8799)

to the one
<0259>

company
<04264>_,

and smite it
<05221> (8689)_,

then the other company
<04264>

which is left
<07604> (8737)

shall escape
<06413>_.

32:9

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

O God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

Abraham
<085>_,

and God
<0430>

of my father
<01>

Isaac
<03327>_,

the LORD
<03068>

which saidst
<0559> (8802)

unto me, Return
<07725> (8798)

unto thy country
<0776>_,

and to thy kindred
<04138>_,

and I will deal well
<03190> (8686)

with thee:

32:10

I am not worthy of the least
<06994> (8804)

of all the mercies
<02617>_,

and of all the truth
<0571>_,

which thou hast shewed
<06213> (8804)

unto thy servant
<05650>_;

for with my staff
<04731>

I passed over
<05674> (8804)

this Jordan
<03383>_;

and now I am become two
<08147>

bands
<04264>_.

{I am not...: Heb. I am less than all}

32:11

Deliver me
<05337> (8685)_,

I pray thee, from the hand
<03027>

of my brother
<0251>_,

from the hand
<03027>

of Esau
<06215>_:

for I fear
<03373>

him, lest he will come
<0935> (8799)

and smite me
<05221> (8689)_,

[and] the mother
<0517>

with
<05921>

the children
<01121>_.

{with: Heb. upon}

32:12

And thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

I will surely
<03190> (8687)

do thee good
<03190> (8686)_,

and make
<07760> (8804)

thy seed
<02233>

as the sand
<02344>

of the sea
<03220>_,

which cannot be numbered
<05608> (8735)

for multitude
<07230>_.

32:13

And he lodged
<03885> (8799)

there that same night
<03915>_;

and took
<03947> (8799)

of that which came
<0935> (8802)

to his hand
<03027>

a present
<04503>

for Esau
<06215>

his brother
<0251>_;

32:14

Two hundred
<03967>

she goats
<05795>_,

and twenty
<06242>

he goats
<08495>_,

two hundred
<03967>

ewes
<07353>_,

and twenty
<06242>

rams
<0352>_,

32:15

Thirty
<07970>

milch
<03243> (8688)

camels
<01581>

with their colts
<01121>_,

forty
<0705>

kine
<06510>_,

and ten
<06235>

bulls
<06499>_,

twenty
<06242>

she asses
<0860>_,

and ten
<06235>

foals
<05895>_.

32:16

And he delivered
<05414> (8799)

[them] into the hand
<03027>

of his servants
<05650>_,

every drove
<05739>

by themselves; and said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Pass over
<05674> (8798)

before me
<06440>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

a space
<07305>

betwixt
<0996>

drove
<05739>

and
<0996>

drove
<05739>_.

32:17

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

the foremost
<07223>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When Esau
<06215>

my brother
<0251>

meeteth thee
<06298> (8799)_,

and asketh thee
<07592> (8804)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Whose [art] thou? and whither goest
<03212> (8799)

thou? and whose [are] these before
<06440>

thee?

32:18

Then thou shalt say
<0559> (8804)_,

[They be] thy servant
<05650>

Jacob's
<03290>_;

it [is] a present
<04503>

sent
<07971> (8803)

unto my lord
<0113>

Esau
<06215>_:

and, behold, also he [is] behind us
<0310>_.

32:19

And so
<01571>

commanded he
<06680> (8762)

the second
<08145>_,

and the third
<07992>_,

and all that followed
<01980> (8802) <0310>

the droves
<05739>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

On this manner
<01697>

shall ye speak
<01696> (8762)

unto Esau
<06215>_,

when ye find
<04672> (8800)

him.

32:20

And say ye
<0559> (8804)

moreover
<01571>_,

Behold, thy servant
<05650>

Jacob
<03290>

[is] behind us
<0310>_.

For he said
<0559> (8804)_,

I will appease
<03722> (8762)

him
<06440>

with the present
<04503>

that goeth
<01980> (8802)

before me
<06440>_,

and afterward
<0310>

I will see
<07200> (8799)

his face
<06440>_;

peradventure he will accept
<05375> (8799)

of me
<06440>_.

{of me: Heb. my face}

32:21

So went
<05674> (0)

the present
<04503>

over
<05674> (8799)

before him
<06440>_:

and himself lodged
<03885> (8804)

that night
<03915>

in the company
<04264>_.

32:22

And he rose up
<06965> (8799)

that night
<03915>_,

and took
<03947> (8799)

his two
<08147>

wives
<0802>_,

and his two
<08147>

womenservants
<08198>_,

and his eleven
<06240> <0259>

sons
<03206>_,

and passed over
<05674> (8799)

the ford
<04569>

Jabbok
<02999>_.

32:23

And he took them
<03947> (8799)_,

and sent them over
<05674> (8686)

the brook
<05158>_,

and sent over
<05674> (8686)

that he had. {sent them: Heb. caused to pass}

32:24

And Jacob
<03290>

was left
<03498> (8735)

alone; and there wrestled
<079> (8735)

a man
<0376>

with him until the breaking
<05927> (8800)

of the day
<07837>_.

{breaking...: Heb. ascending of the morning}

32:25

And when he saw
<07200> (8799)

that he prevailed
<03201> (8804)

not against him, he touched
<05060> (8799)

the hollow of his thigh
<03409>_;

and the hollow
<03709>

of Jacob's
<03290>

thigh
<03409>

was out of joint
<03363> (8799)_,

as he wrestled
<079> (8736)

with him.

32:26

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me go
<07971> (8761)_,

for the day
<07837>

breaketh
<05927> (8804)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will not let thee go
<07971> (8762)_,

except
<0518>

thou bless
<01288> (8765)

me.

32:27

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, What [is] thy name
<08034>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Jacob
<03290>_.

32:28

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy name
<08034>

shall be called
<0559> (8735)

no more Jacob
<03290>_,

but Israel
<03478>_:

for as a prince hast thou power
<08280> (8804)

with God
<0430>

and with men
<0582>_,

and hast prevailed
<03201> (8799)_.

{Israel: that is, A prince of God}

32:29

And Jacob
<03290>

asked
<07592> (8799)

[him], and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Tell
<05046> (8685)

[me], I pray thee, thy name
<08034>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore [is] it
<02088>

[that] thou dost ask
<07592> (8799)

after my name
<08034>_?

And he blessed
<01288> (8762)

him there.

32:30

And Jacob
<03290>

called
<07121> (8799)

the name
<08034>

of the place
<04725>

Peniel
<06439>_:

for I have seen
<07200> (8804)

God
<0430>

face
<06440>

to face
<06440>_,

and my life
<05315>

is preserved
<05337> (8735)_.

{Peniel: that is, The face of God}

32:31

And as he passed over
<05674> (8804)

Penuel
<06439>

the sun
<08121>

rose
<02224> (8799)

upon him, and he halted
<06760> (8802)

upon his thigh
<03409>_.

32:32

Therefore the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

eat
<0398> (8799)

not [of] the sinew
<01517>

which shrank
<05384>_,

which [is] upon the hollow
<03709>

of the thigh
<03409>_,

unto this day
<03117>_:

because he touched
<05060> (8804)

the hollow
<03709>

of Jacob's
<03290>

thigh
<03409>

in the sinew
<01517>

that shrank
<05384>_.

33:1

And Jacob
<03290>

lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and looked
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, Esau
<06215>

came
<0935> (8802)_,

and with him four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

And he divided
<02673> (8799)

the children
<03206>

unto Leah
<03812>_,

and unto Rachel
<07354>_,

and unto the two
<08147>

handmaids
<08198>_.

33:2

And he put
<07760> (8799)

the handmaids
<08198>

and their children
<03206>

foremost
<07223>_,

and Leah
<03812>

and her children
<03206>

after
<0314>_,

and Rachel
<07354>

and Joseph
<03130>

hindermost
<0314>_.

33:3

And he passed over
<05674> (8804)

before them
<06440>_,

and bowed himself
<07812> (8691)

to the ground
<0776>

seven
<07651>

times
<06471>_,

until he came near
<05066> (8800)

to his brother
<0251>_.

33:4

And Esau
<06215>

ran
<07323> (8799)

to meet him
<07125> (8800)_,

and embraced
<02263> (8762)

him, and fell
<05307> (8799)

on his neck
<06677>_,

and kissed him
<05401> (8799)_:

and they wept
<01058> (8799)_.

33:5

And he lifted up
<05375> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and saw
<07200> (8799)

the women
<0802>

and the children
<03206>_;

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Who [are] those
<0428>

with thee? And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The children
<03206>

which God
<0430>

hath graciously given
<02603> (8804)

thy servant
<05650>_.

{with...: Heb. to thee}

33:6

Then the handmaidens
<08198>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

they and their children
<03206>_,

and they bowed themselves
<07812> (8691)_.

33:7

And Leah
<03812>

also with her children
<03206>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and bowed themselves
<07812> (8691)_:

and after
<0310>

came
<05066> (0)

Joseph
<03130>

near
<05066> (8738)

and Rachel
<07354>_,

and they bowed
<07812> (8691)

themselves.

33:8

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What [meanest] thou by all this drove
<04264>

which I met
<06298> (8804)_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

[These are] to find
<04672> (8800)

grace
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of my lord
<0113>_.

{What...: Heb. What is all this band to thee?}

33:9

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

I have
<03426>

enough
<07227>_,

my brother
<0251>_;

keep that thou hast unto thyself. {keep...: Heb. be that to thee that is thine}

33:10

And Jacob
<03290>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found
<04672> (8804)

grace
<02580>

in thy sight
<05869>_,

then receive
<03947> (8804)

my present
<04503>

at my hand
<03027>_:

for therefore I have seen
<07200> (8804)

thy face
<06440>_,

as though I had seen
<07200> (8800)

the face
<06440>

of God
<0430>_,

and thou wast pleased with me
<07521> (8799)_.

33:11

Take
<03947> (8798)_,

I pray thee, my blessing
<01293>

that is brought
<0935> (8717)

to thee; because God
<0430>

hath dealt graciously with me
<02603> (8804)_,

and because
<03605> (0)

I have
<03426>

enough
<03605>_.

And he urged
<06484> (8799)

him, and he took
<03947> (8799)

[it]. {enough: Heb. all things}

33:12

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us take our journey
<05265> (8799)_,

and let us go
<03212> (8799)_,

and I will go
<03212> (8799)

before thee.

33:13

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, My lord
<0113>

knoweth
<03045> (8802)

that the children
<03206>

[are] tender
<07390>_,

and the flocks
<06629>

and herds
<01241>

with young
<05763> (8802)

[are] with me: and if men should overdrive
<01849> (8804)

them one
<0259>

day
<03117>_,

all the flock
<06629>

will die
<04191> (8804)_.

33:14

Let my lord
<0113>_,

I pray thee, pass over
<05674> (8799)

before
<06440>

his servant
<05650>_:

and I will lead on
<05095> (8691)

softly
<0328>_,

according as
<07272>

the cattle
<04399>

that goeth before me
<06440>

and the children
<03206>

be able to endure
<07272>_,

until I come
<0935> (8799)

unto my lord
<0113>

unto Seir
<08165>_.

{according...: Heb. according to the foot of the work, etc., and according to the foot of the children}

33:15

And Esau
<06215>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let me now leave
<03322> (8686)

with thee [some] of the folk
<05971>

that [are] with me. And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What
<04100>

needeth it? let me find
<04672> (8799)

grace
<02580>

in the sight
<05869>

of my lord
<0113>_.

{leave: Heb. set, or, place} {What...: Heb. Wherefore is this?}

33:16

So Esau
<06215>

returned
<07725> (8799)

that day
<03117>

on his way
<01870>

unto Seir
<08165>_.

33:17

And Jacob
<03290>

journeyed
