Genesis 32:9-23

⁹ And Jacob saith, 'God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who saith unto me, Turn back to thy land, and to thy kindred, and I do good with thee: ¹⁰ I have been unworthy of all the kind acts, and of all the truth which Thou hast done with thy servant—for, with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. ¹¹ 'Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, less he come and have smitten me—mother beside sons; ¹² and Thou—Thou hast said, I certainly do good with thee, and have set thy seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the multitude.'

¹³ And he lodgeth there during that night, and taketh from that which is coming into his hand, a present for Esau his brother: ¹⁴ she-goats two hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty, ¹⁵ suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, she-asses twenty, and foals ten; ¹⁶ and he giveth into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and saith unto his servants, 'Pass over before me, and a space ye do put between drove and drove.' ¹⁷ And he commandeth the first, saying, 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and hath asked thee, saying, Whose 'art' thou? and whither goest thou? and whose 'are' these before thee? ¹⁸ then thou hast said, Thy servant Jacob's: it 'is' a present sent to my lord, to Esau; and lo, he also 'is' behind us.' ¹⁹ And he commandeth also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, 'According to this manner do ye speak unto Esau in your finding him, ²⁰ and ye have said also, Lo, thy servant Jacob 'is' behind us;' for he said, 'I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterwards I see his face; it may be he lifteth up my face;' ²¹ and the present passeth over before his face, and he hath lodged during that night in the camp.

Jacob Wrestles at Peniel

²² And he riseth in that night, and taketh his two wives, and his two maid-servants, and his eleven children, and passeth over the passage of Jabbok; ²³ and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.
