Genesis
32:3-5 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto
the land of Seir, the country of Edom. And he commanded them, saying, Thus
shall you speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob says this, I have
sojourned with Laban and stayed there until now. And I have oxen and asses,
flocks and menservants and women servants. And I have sent to tell my lord,
that I may find grace in thy sight.
Genesis
32:6-8 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your
brother Esau and also he comes to meet you and four hundred men with him.
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;
And said, If Esau come to the one company and smite it, then the other
company which is left shall escape.
Genesis
32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham and God of my father
Isaac, the Lord which said unto me, Return unto your country and to your
kindred and I will deal well with you.
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 will come and smite me and the mother
with the children.
Genesis
32:12 And you said, I will surely do you good and make your seed as
the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
Genesis
32:13 And he lodged there that same night and took of that which came
to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
Genesis
32:14-20 Two hundred she goats and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes
and twenty rams, Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine.(buffalo).and
ten bulls, twenty she asses and ten foals. And he delivered them into the
hand of his servants, every drove.(a
flock or herd).by
themselves and said unto his servants, Pass over before me and put a space
betwixt drove and drove. And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau
my brother meets you and asks you, saying, Whose are these? And where are
you going? And whose are these before you? Then you shall say, They be
your servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau. And, behold,
also he is behind us. And so commanded he the second and the third and
all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall you speak unto
Esau, when you find him. And say you moreover, Behold, your servant Jacob
is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes
before me and afterward I will see his face, peradventure
he will accept of me.
Genesis
32:21-23 So went the present over before him and himself lodged that
night in the company. 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. And he took them and sent them over the brook and sent over that
he had.(all
else that he had for Esau).
Genesis
32:24-26 And Jacob was left
alone and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.(looked
like a man, was an angel {Hosea
12:4} and vanished like God
or an angel would do).
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. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will
not let you go, except you bless me.
Genesis
26:3,4.
Genesis
32:27 And he said unto him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
Genesis
32:28 And he said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob,
but Israel.
For as a prince have you power with God and with men and have prevailed.
The
story is just above at verses beginning verse 24, which led to his name
change.
Genesis
32:29 And Jacob asked him and said, Tell me, I pray you, your name.
And he said, Wherefore is it that you do ask after my name? And he blessed
him there.
Genesis
32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel. For I have seen
God face to face.(Exodus
33:11).and my life is preserved.
