ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
 as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

 

 

GE-32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met


  • him.



  • GE-32:2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This [is] God's host:
  • and

  • he called the name of that place Mahanaim.



  • GE-32:3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his
  • brother unto

  • the land of Seir, the country of Edom.



  • GE-32:4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto
  • my

  • lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with
  • Laban,

  • and stayed there until now:



  • GE-32:5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and

  • womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find
  • grace

  • in thy sight.



  • GE-32:6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came
  • to thy

  • brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred
  • men

  • with him.



  • GE-32:7 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;



  • GE-32:8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it,
  • then

  • the other company which is left shall escape.



  • GE-32:9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of
  • my

  • father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy
  • country,

  • and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:



  • GE-32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and
  • of all

  • the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my
  • staff

  • I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.



  • GE-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.



  • GE-32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make
  • thy

  • seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for
  • multitude.



  • GE-32:13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that
  • which

  • came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;



  • GE-32:14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred

  • ewes, and twenty rams,



  • GE-32:15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and
  • ten

  • bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.



  • GE-32:16 And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants,
  • every

  • drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over
  • before me,

  • and put a space betwixt drove and drove.



  • GE-32:17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my
  • brother

  • meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and
  • whither

  • goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?



  • GE-32:18 Then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Jacob's; it
  • [is]

  • a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he [is]
  • behind us.



  • GE-32:19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all
  • that

  • followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto
  • Esau,

  • when ye find him.



  • GE-32:20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is]
  • behind

  • us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth
  • before

  • me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will
  • accept of

  • me.



  • GE-32:21 So went the present over before him: and himself
  • lodged that

  • night in the company.



  • GE-32:22 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.



  • GE-32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and
  • sent

  • over that he had.



  • GE-32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man
  • with him

  • until the breaking of the day.



  • GE-32:25 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.



  • GE-32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he
  • said, I

  • will not let thee go, except thou bless me.



  • GE-32:27 And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said,

  • Jacob.



  • GE-32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob,
  • but

  • Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men,
  • and

  • hast prevailed.



  • GE-32:29 And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray
  • thee, thy

  • name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after
  • my

  • name? And he blessed him there.



  • GE-32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I
  • have

  • seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.



  • GE-32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him,
  • and he

  • halted upon his thigh.



  • GE-32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not [of] the sinew

  • which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this
  • day:

  • because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that

  • shrank.
