Chapter 32
And
Iacob
went
on
his
way,
and
the
Angels
of
God
met
him.
2
And
when
Iacob
saw
them,
he
said,
This
is
Gods
hoste:
and
hee
called
the
name
of
that
place
Mahanaim.
3
And
Iacob
sent
messengers
before
him,
to
Esau
his
brother,
vnto
the
land
of
Seir,
the
countrey
of
Edom.
4
And
he
commaunded
them,
saying,
Thus
shall
ye
speake
vnto
my
lord
Esau,
Thy
seruant
Iacob
saith
thus,
I
haue
soiourned
with
Laban,
and
stayed
there
vntill
now.
5
And
I
haue
oxen,
and
asses,
flockes,
and
men
seruants
and
women
seruants:
and
I
haue
sent
to
tell
my
lord,
that
I
may
find
grace
in
thy
sight.
6
And
the
messengers
returned
to
Iacob,
saying,
Wee
came
to
thy
brother
Esau,
and
also
he
commeth
to
meet
thee,
and
foure
hundred
men
with
him.
7
Then
Iacob
was
greatly
afraid,
and
distressed,
and
he
diuided
the
people
that
was
with
him,
and
the
flockes,
and
herdes,
and
the
camels
into
two
bands,
8
And
said,
If
Esau
come
to
the
one
company,
and
smite
it,
then
the
other
company
which
is
left,
shall
escape.
9
And
Iacob
said,
O
God
of
my
father
Abraham,
and
God
of
my
father
Isaac,
the
Lord
which
saidst
vnto
me,
Returne
vnto
thy
countrey,
and
to
thy
kinred,
and
I
will
deale
well
with
thee:
10
I
am
not
worthy
of
the
least
of
all
the
mercies,
and
of
all
the
trueth,
which
thou
hast
shewed
vnto
thy
seruant:
for
with
my
staffe
I
passed
ouer
this
Iordan,
and
now
I
am
become
two
bands.
11
Deliuer
me,
I
pray
thee,
from
the
hand
of
my
brother,
from
the
hand
of
Esau:
for
I
feare
him,
lest
he
will
come,
and
smite
me,
and
the
mother
with
the
children.
12
And
thou
saidst,
I
will
surely
doe
thee
good,
and
make
thy
seed
as
the
sand
of
the
sea,
which
cannot
be
numbred
for
multitude.
13
And
he
lodged
there
that
same
night,
and
tooke
of
that
which
came
to
his
hand,
a
present
for
Esau
his
brother:
14
Two
hundred
shee
goats,
and
twentie
hee
goats,
two
hundred
ewes,
and
twentie
rammes,
15
Thirtie
milch
camels
with
their
colts,
fortie
kine,
and
ten
bulles,
twenty
shee
ashes,
and
ten
foales.
16
And
hee
deliuered
them
into
the
hand
of
his
seruants,
euery
droue
by
themselues,
and
said
vnto
his
seruants,
Passe
ouer
before
me,
and
put
a
space
betwixt
droue
and
droue.
17
And
he
commanded
the
formost,
saying,
When
Esau
my
brother
meeteth
thee,
and
asketh
thee,
saying,
whose
art
thou?
and
whither
goest
thou?
and
whose
are
these
before
thee?
18
Then
thou
shalt
say,
They
be
thy
seruant
Iacobs:
it
is
a
present
sent
vnto
my
lord
Esau:
and
behold
also,
he
is
behind
vs.
19
And
so
commanded
he
the
second,
and
the
third,
and
all
that
followed
the
droues,
saying,
On
this
maner
shal
you
speake
vnto
Esau,
when
you
find
him.
20
And
say
ye
moreouer,
Beholde,
thy
seruant
Iacob
is
behind
vs:
for
he
said,
I
will
appease
him
with
the
present
that
goeth
before
me,
and
afterward
I
will
see
his
face;
peraduenture
he
will
accept
of
me.
21
So
went
the
present
ouer
before
him:
and
himselfe
lodged
that
night
in
the
company.
22
And
hee
rose
vp
that
night,
and
tooke
his
two
wiues,
and
his
two
women
seruants,
and
his
eleuen
sonnes,
and
passed
ouer
the
foord
Iabbok.
23
And
he
tooke
them,
and
sent
them
ouer
the
brooke,
and
sent
ouer
that
hee
had.
24
And
Iacob
was
left
alone:
and
there
wrestled
a
man
with
him,
vntill
the
breaking
of
the
day.
25
And
when
he
saw,
that
he
preuailed
not
against
him,
he
touched
the
hollow
of
his
thigh:
and
the
hollow
of
Iacobs
thigh
was
out
of
ioynt,
as
hee
wrestled
with
him.
26
And
he
said,
Let
me
goe,
for
the
day
breaketh:
and
he
said,
I
will
not
let
thee
goe,
except
thou
blesse
me.
27
And
he
said
vnto
him,
what
is
thy
name?
and
he
said,
Iacob.
28
And
he
said,
Thy
name
shall
be
called
no
more
Iacob,
but
Israel:
for
as
a
prince
hast
thou
power
with
God,
and
with
men,
and
hast
preuailed.
29
And
Iacob
asked
him,
and
saide,
Tell
me,
I
pray
thee,
thy
name:
and
he
said,
Wherefore
is
it,
that
thou
doest
aske
after
my
name?
and
he
blessed
him
there.
30
And
Iacob
called
the
name
of
the
place
Peniel:
for
I
haue
seene
God
face
to
face,
and
my
life
is
preserued.
31
And
as
he
passed
ouer
Penuel,
the
sunne
rose
vpon
him,
and
he
halted
vpon
his
thigh.
32
Therefore
the
children
of
Israel
eate
not
of
the
sinewe
which
shranke,
which
is
vpon
the
hollow
of
the
thigh,
vnto
this
day:
because
hee
touched
the
hollow
of
Iacobs
thigh,
in
the
sinewe
that
shranke.
