1. And Jacob departed for his journey; and having looked up, he saw the Gr. camp host of God encamped; and the angels of God met him.
|
1. And Jacob H3290 went H1980 on his way H1870 , and the angels H4397 of God H430 met H6293 him.
|
|
2. And Jacob said, when he saw them, This is the Camp of God; and he called the name of that place, Encampments.
|
2. And when H834 Jacob H3290 saw H7200 them , he said H559 , This H2088 is God H430 's host H4264 : and he called H7121 the name H8034 of that H1931 place H4725 Mahanaim H4266 .
|
|
3. And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, to the country of Edom.
|
3. And Jacob H3290 sent H7971 messengers H4397 before H6440 him to H413 Esau H6215 his brother H251 unto the land H776 of Seir H8165 , the country H7704 of Edom H123 .
|
|
4. And he charged them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob; I have sojourned with Laban and tarried until now.
|
4. And he commanded H6680 them, saying H559 , Thus H3541 shall ye speak H559 unto my lord H113 Esau H6215 ; Thy servant H5650 Jacob H3290 saith H559 thus H3541 , I have sojourned H1481 with H5973 Laban H3837 , and stayed there H309 until H5704 now H6258 :
|
|
5. And there were born to me oxen, and asses, and sheep, and men-servants and women-servants; and I sent to tell my lord Esau, that thy servant might find grace in thy sight.
|
5. And I have H1961 oxen H7794 , and asses H2543 , flocks H6629 , and menservants H5650 , and womenservants H8198 : and I have sent H7971 to tell H5046 my lord H113 , that I may find H4672 grace H2580 in thy sight H5869 .
|
|
6. And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and lo! he comes to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
|
6. And the messengers H4397 returned H7725 to H413 Jacob H3290 , saying H559 , We came H935 to H413 thy brother H251 Esau H6215 , and also H1571 he cometh H1980 to meet H7125 thee , and four H702 hundred H3967 men H376 with H5973 him.
|
|
7. And Jacob was greatly terrified, and was perplexed; and he divided the people that was with him, and the cows, and the camels, and the sheep, into two camps.
|
7. Then Jacob H3290 was greatly afraid H3372 H3966 and distressed H3334 : and he divided H2673 H853 the people H5971 that H834 was with H854 him , and the flocks H6629 , and herds H1241 , and the camels H1581 , into two H8147 bands H4264 ;
|
|
8. And Jacob said, If Esau should come to one camp, and smite it, the other camp shall be in safety.
|
8. And said H559 , If H518 Esau H6215 come H935 to H413 the one H259 company H4264 , and smite H5221 it , then the other company H4264 which is left H7604 shall escape H6413 .
|
|
9. And Jacob said, God of my father Abraam, and God of my father Isaac, O Lord, thou art he that said to me, Depart quickly to the land of thy birth, and I will do thee good.
|
9. And Jacob H3290 said H559 , O God H430 of my father H1 Abraham H85 , and God H430 of my father H1 Isaac H3327 , the LORD H3068 which saidst H559 unto H413 me, Return H7725 unto thy country H776 , and to thy kindred H4138 , and I will deal well H3190 with H5973 thee:
|
|
10. Let there be to me a sufficiency of all the justice and all the truth which thou hast wrought with thy servant; for with this my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two camps.
|
10. I am not worthy H6994 of the least of all H4480 H3605 the mercies H2617 , and of all H4480 H3605 the truth H571 , which H834 thou hast showed H6213 unto H853 thy servant H5650 ; for H3588 with my staff H4731 I passed over H5674 H853 this H2088 Jordan H3383 ; and now H6258 I am become H1961 two H8147 bands H4264 .
|
|
11. Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I am afraid of him, lest haply he should come and smite me, and the mother upon the children.
|
11. Deliver H5337 me , I pray thee H4994 , from the hand H4480 H3027 of my brother H251 , from the hand H4480 H3027 of Esau H6215 : for H3588 I H595 fear H3372 him, lest H6435 he will come H935 and smite H5221 me, and the mother H517 with H5921 the children H1121 .
|
|
12. But thou saidst, I will do thee good, and will make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which shall not be numbered for multitude.
|
12. And thou H859 saidst H559 , I will surely do thee good H3190 H3190 H5973 , and make H7760 H853 thy seed H2233 as the sand H2344 of the sea H3220 , which H834 cannot H3808 be numbered H5608 for multitude H4480 H7230 .
|
|
13. And he slept there that night, and took of the gifts which he carried with him, and sent out to Esau his brother,
|
13. And he lodged H3885 there H8033 that same H1931 night H3915 ; and took H3947 of H4480 that which came H935 to his hand H3027 a present H4503 for Esau H6215 his brother H251 ;
|
|
14. two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep, twenty rams,
|
14. Two hundred H3967 she goats H5795 , and twenty H6242 he goats H8495 , two hundred H3967 ewes H7353 , and twenty H6242 rams H352 ,
|
|
15. milch camels, and their foals, thirty, forty kine, ten bulls, twenty asses, and ten colts.
|
15. Thirty H7970 milch H3243 camels H1581 with their colts H1121 , forty H705 kine H6510 , and ten H6235 bulls H6499 , twenty H6242 she asses H860 , and ten H6235 foals H5895 .
|
|
16. And he gave them to his servants each drove apart; and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and put a space between drove and drove.
|
16. And he delivered H5414 them into the hand H3027 of his servants H5650 , every drove H5739 H5739 by themselves H905 ; and said H559 unto H413 his servants H5650 , Pass over H5674 before H6440 me , and put H7760 a space H7305 between H996 drove H5739 and drove H5739 .
|
|
17. And he charged the first, saying, If Esau my brother meet thee, and he ask thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither wouldest thou go, and whose are these possessions advancing before thee?
|
17. And he commanded H6680 H853 the foremost H7223 , saying H559 , When H3588 Esau H6215 my brother H251 meeteth H6298 thee , and asketh H7592 thee, saying H559 , Whose H4310 art thou H859 ? and whither H575 goest H1980 thou? and whose H4310 are these H428 before H6440 thee?
|
|
18. Thou shalt say, Thy servant Jacob’s; he hath sent gifts to my lord Esau, and lo! he is behind us.
|
18. Then thou shalt say H559 , They be thy servant H5650 Jacob H3290 's; it H1931 is a present H4503 sent H7971 unto my lord H113 Esau H6215 : and, behold H2009 , also H1571 he H1931 is behind H310 us.
|
|
19. And he charged the first and the second and the third, and all that went before him after these flocks, saying, Thus shall ye speak to Esau when ye find him;
|
19. And so H1571 commanded H6680 he H853 the second H8145 , and H1571 H853 the third H7992 , and H1571 H853 all H3605 that followed H1980 H310 the droves H5739 , saying H559 , On this H2088 manner H1697 shall ye speak H1696 unto H413 Esau H6215 , when ye find H4672 him.
|
|
20. and ye shall say, Behold thy servant Jacob comes after us. For he said, I will propitiate his countenance with the gifts going before his presence, and afterwards I will behold his face, for peradventure he will accept Gr. my face me.
|
20. And say H559 ye moreover H1571 , Behold H2009 , thy servant H5650 Jacob H3290 is behind H310 us. For H3588 he said H559 , I will appease H3722 H6440 him with the present H4503 that goeth H1980 before H6440 me , and afterward H310 H3651 I will see H7200 his face H6440 ; peradventure H194 he will accept H5375 H6440 of me.
|
|
21. So the presents went on before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
|
21. So went H5674 the present H4503 over before H5921 H6440 him : and himself H1931 lodged H3885 that H1931 night H3915 in the company H4264 .
|
|
22. And he rose up in that night, and took his two wives and his two servant-maids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of Jaboch.
|
22. And he rose up H6965 that H1931 night H3915 , and took H3947 H853 his two H8147 wives H802 , and his two H8147 womenservants H8198 , and his eleven H259 H6240 sons H3206 , and passed over H5674 H853 the ford H4569 Jabbok H2999 .
|
|
23. And he took them, and passed over the torrent, and brought over all his possessions.
|
23. And he took H3947 them , and sent them over H5674 H853 the brook H5158 , and sent over H5674 H853 that H834 he had.
|
|
24. And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him till the morning.
|
24. And Jacob H3290 was left H3498 alone H905 ; and there wrestled H79 a man H376 with H5973 him until H5704 the breaking H5927 of the day H7837 .
|
|
25. And he saw that he prevailed not against him; and he touched the broad part of his thigh, and the broad part of Jacob’s thigh was benumbed in his wrestling with him.
|
25. And when he saw H7200 that H3588 he prevailed H3201 not H3808 against him , he touched H5060 the hollow H3709 of his thigh H3409 ; and the hollow H3709 of Jacob H3290 's thigh H3409 was out of joint H3363 , as he wrestled H79 with H5973 him.
|
|
26. And he said to him, Let me go, for the day has dawned; but he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
|
26. And he said H559 , Let me go H7971 , for H3588 the day H7837 breaketh H5927 . And he said H559 , I will not H3808 let thee go H7971 , except H3588 H518 thou bless H1288 me.
|
|
27. And he said to him, What is thy name? and he answered, Jacob.
|
27. And he said H559 unto H413 him, What H4100 is thy name H8034 ? And he said H559 , Jacob H3290 .
|
|
28. And he said to him, Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; for thou hast prevailed with God, and shalt be mighty with men.
|
28. And he said H559 , Thy name H8034 shall be called H559 no H3808 more H5750 Jacob H3290 , but H3588 H518 Israel H3478 : for H3588 as a prince hast thou power H8280 with H5973 God H430 and with H5973 men H376 , and hast prevailed H3201 .
|
|
29. And Jacob asked and said, Tell me thy name; and he said, Wherefore dost thou ask after my name? and he blessed him there.
|
29. And Jacob H3290 asked H7592 him , and said H559 , Tell H5046 me , I pray thee H4994 , thy name H8034 . And he said H559 , Wherefore H4100 is it H2088 that thou dost ask H7592 after my name H8034 ? And he blessed H1288 him there H8033 .
|
|
30. And Jacob called the name of that place, the Face of God; for, said he, I have seen God face to face, and my life was preserved.
|
30. And Jacob H3290 called H7121 the name H8034 of the place H4725 Peniel H6439 : for H3588 I have seen H7200 God H430 face H6440 to H413 face H6440 , and my life H5315 is preserved H5337 .
|
|
31. And the sun rose upon him, when he passed the Face of God; and he halted upon his thigh.
|
31. And as H834 he passed over H5674 H853 Penuel H6439 the sun H8121 rose H2224 upon him , and he H1931 halted H6760 upon H5921 his thigh H3409 .
|
|
32. Therefore the children of Israel will by no means eat of the sinew which was benumbed, which is on the broad part of the thigh, until this day, because the angel touched the broad part of the thigh of Jacob— even the sinew which was benumbed.
|
32. Therefore H5921 H3651 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 eat H398 not H3808 of H853 the sinew H1517 which shrank H5384 , which H834 is upon H5921 the hollow H3709 of the thigh H3409 , unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 : because H3588 he touched H5060 the hollow H3709 of Jacob H3290 's thigh H3409 in the sinew H1517 that shrank H5384 .
