He called the name of that place Mahanaim.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the region of Edom. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>He commanded them, saying, "This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: 'This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.'"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Then Jacob was very afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps; <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>and he said, "If Esau comes to the one camp, and strikes it, then the other camp will escape."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Jacob said, "God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, who said to me, 'Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses and of all the faithfulness which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>You said, 'I will surely do you good and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which can抰 be counted because there are so many.'"<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>So he spent the night there and selected from what he had acquired a present for his brother Esau: <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>He entrusted them into the hands of his servants as separate herds, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and keep some distance between the herds." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>He instructed the first, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, 慦hose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these ahead of you?' <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob抯. It is a present sent to my lord Esau. And look, he also is behind us.'" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>He instructed also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you are to speak to Esau, when you find him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>You shall say, 'Not only that, but look, your servant Jacob is behind us.'" For, he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will meet him. Perhaps he will accept me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>So the gift passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>He got up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>He took them and sent them across the stream, and sent over all his possessions.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Then Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>When he saw that he did not defeat him, he struck the socket of his hip, and Jacob抯 hip was dislocated as he wrestled with him. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." Jacob said, "I won't let you go unless you bless me." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And he said to him, "What is your name?"He said, "Jacob." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>He said, "Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask what my name is?" And he blessed him there. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: "For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>The sun rose on him as he passed by Peniel, and he limped because of his hip. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/genesis/32-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>Therefore, to this day the children of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip socket, because he struck Jacob抯 hip socket near that tendon.<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
