The Latter Days - Genesis Chapter 32

Gen 32:1 And Jacob [03290] went [01980] (8804) on his way [01870], and the angels [04397] of God [0430] met [06293] (8799) him.
Gen 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].
Gen 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].
Gen 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:
Gen 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].
Gen 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.
Gen 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];
Gen 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].
Gen 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:
Gen 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].
Gen 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].
Gen 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].
Gen 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];
Gen 32:14 Two hundred [03967] she goats [05795], and twenty [06242] he goats [08495], two hundred [03967] ewes [07353], and twenty [06242] rams [0352],
Gen 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].
Gen 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].
Gen 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?
Gen 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].
Gen 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.
Gen 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].
Gen 32:21 So went [05674] [00] the present [04503] over [05674] (8799) before him [06440]: and himself lodged [03885] (8804) that night [03915] in the company [04264].
Gen 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].
Gen 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.
Gen 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].
Gen 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.
Gen 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.
Gen 32:27 And he said [0559] (8799) unto him, What is thy name [08034]? And he said [0559] (8799), Jacob [03290].
Gen 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).
Gen 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.
Gen 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).
Gen 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].
Gen 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].
