Berean Standard Bible
And
Jacob hath
gone
on his way, and messengers
of God come
upon
him ;
Jacob also
went
on his way, and the
angels
of God met
him .
and
Jacob saith
, when
he hath
seen
them
, `
This `
is '
the camp of God ;'
and
he calleth
the
name
of
that place `Two
Camps
. '
When
Jacob saw
them
, he said
, “
This is the camp of God .”
So
he named
that place Mahanaim
.
And
Jacob sendeth
messengers before
him unto
Esau
his brother ,
towards
the land of Seir, the field
of Edom ,
Jacob sent
messengers ahead
of
him to
his brother Esau
in
the land of Seir, the country
of Edom .
and
commandeth
them, saying,
`Thus
do
ye
say to my lord,
to
Esau :
Thus
said
thy
servant Jacob ,
With
Laban
I have sojourned,
and I
tarry
until now ;
He
instructed
them, “You
are
to
say to my master
Esau ,
‘Your
servant Jacob says:
I have been
staying
with
Laban
and have
remained
there
until now .
and
I have ox,
and
ass
, flock
, and
man-servant
, and
maid-servant
, and I send
to
declare
to my lord
, to
find grace
in his
eyes
. '
I have oxen
, donkeys
, flocks
, menservants
, and maidservants.
I have
sent
this
message
to inform
my master
, so
that
I
may
find favor
in your
sight
. ’”
And
the messengers turn
back
unto
Jacob, saying
, `
We came
in
unto
thy
brother ,
unto
Esau, and he also
is coming to meet thee,
and four hundred men with him ;'
When
the messengers returned
to
Jacob, they
said
, “
We went
to
your
brother Esau, and now
he is coming to meet you—he
and four hundred men with him .”
and
Jacob
feareth
exceedingly,
and is
distressed
, and
he
divideth
the
people who
`are'
with
him
, and
the flock,
and the
herd,
and the
camels ,
into
two
camps,
In
great
fear
and distress
, Jacob
divided
his
people into
two
camps
, as
well
as
the flocks
and herds
and camels .
and
saith
, `
If Esau come
in
unto
the
one camp, and
have
smitten
it
--
then the camp which
is
left
hath
been
for
an
escape. '
He
thought
, “
If Esau comes
and
attacks
one camp, then the other
camp can
escape. ”
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:
Then
Jacob declared
, “O
God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, the
LORD
who told
me, ‘Go
back to your
country
and to your
kindred, and I will
make
you
prosper,’
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.
I am
unworthy of all the kindness
and faithfulness
You
have
shown
Your
servant .
Indeed
, with only
my staff I came
across
the
Jordan, but
now I have become two camps.
`
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;
Please
deliver me from the hand of my brother Esau ,
for I am afraid
that
he may
come and attack
me and
the
mothers
and
children
with
me.
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
. '
But
You
have
said, ‘
I will
surely
make
you
prosper
, and I
will
make
your
offspring
like
the sand of the sea, too
numerous
to
count
. ’”
And
he
lodgeth
there
during
that
night, and taketh
from that
which
is
coming
into
his
hand
, a present
for Esau
his brother:
Jacob
spent
the
night there
, and from what
he
had
brought
with
him
, he
selected
a gift
for his brother Esau
:
she-
goats two
hundred
, and
he-
goats twenty
, ewes two
hundred
, and
rams twenty
,
200
female
goats, 20
male
goats, 200
ewes, 20
rams,
suckling
camels and
their young ones
thirty
, cows forty
, and
bullocks
ten
, she-asses
twenty
, and foals
ten;
30
milk
camels with
their young, 40
cows, 10
bulls
, 20
female
donkeys
, and 10
male
donkeys.
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
. '
He entrusted
them
to
his servants in
separate
herds
and told
them
, “Go
on
ahead
of
me, and keep
some
distance
between the
herds
. ”
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
?
He instructed
the one
in
the
lead
, “
When my brother Esau
meets
you
and asks
, ‘To
whom
do
you
belong
, where
are
you
going,
and whose animals
are these before you
? ’
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. '
then you
are
to
say
, ‘They
belong
to
your
servant Jacob.
They
are
a gift,
sent to my lord Esau .
And behold
, Jacob
is behind us. ’”
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 ,
He also instructed
the second, the third, and
all those
following
behind
the herds:
“When
you
meet
Esau
, you
are
to say
the
same
thing
to
him .
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;'
You
are
also to
say
, ‘Look
, your
servant Jacob is right
behind us .’”
For he thought
, “
I will
appease
Esau
with the gift
that
is going before me .
After
that
I can
face him,
and
perhaps
he will
accept
me.”
and
the
present
passeth
over
before his
face
, and
he hath
lodged
during
that
night in the camp.
So
Jacob’s
gifts
went
on
before him
, while
he spent
the
night in the camp.
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 ;
During
the
night Jacob
got
up
and took
his two wives, his two maidservants
, and his eleven sons
, and crossed
the ford
of the
Jabbok .
and
he taketh
them ,
and causeth
them to
pass
over
the brook
, and
he
causeth
that
which
he
hath
to
pass
over
.
He took
them and sent
them across
the stream
, along
with
all
his
possessions
.
And
Jacob is
left alone, and one
wrestleth
with him till
the
ascending
of
the
dawn;
So
Jacob was
left all
alone, and there
a
man
wrestled
with him until
daybreak.
and
he
seeth
that he is
not able
for
him
, and
he cometh
against
the hollow
of his
thigh,
and the
hollow
of
Jacob's
thigh
is
disjointed
in
his
wrestling
with
him;
When
the
man
saw
that he could
not overpower
Jacob
, he struck
the socket
of Jacob’s
hip
and dislocated
it
as
they
wrestled.
and
he
saith
, `Send
me away
, for the
dawn
hath
ascended:'
and
he
saith
, `
I send
thee
not away,
except
thou
hast
blessed
me. '
Then
the
man
said
, “Let
me go
, for it
is
daybreak.”
But
Jacob
replied
, “
I will
not let
you
go
unless
you
bless
me. ”
And
he
saith
unto
him,
`
What `
is '
thy
name? '
and
he
saith,
`
Jacob. '
“
What is your
name? ”
the
man
asked.
“
Jacob ,”
he
replied
.
And
he
saith
, `Thy
name is
no more
called
Jacob, but Israel ;
for
thou
hast
been
a
prince
with God and with men, and dost
prevail
. '
Then
the
man
said
, “Your
name will
no longer
be
Jacob, but Israel ,
because
you
have
struggled
with God and with men, and you
have
prevailed
. ”
And Jacob asketh,
and
saith,
`Declare,
I
pray
thee
, thy
name ;'
and
he saith
, `
Why `is'
this,
thou
askest
for
My name? '
and
He blesseth
him
there.
And Jacob requested
, “Please
tell
me
your
name .”
But
he replied
, “
Why do
you
ask
my name? ”
Then
he blessed
Jacob
there.
And
Jacob calleth
the
name
of
the place Peniel :
for
`
I have seen God face unto
face, and my life is
delivered;'
So
Jacob named
the place Peniel ,
saying,
“Indeed,
I have seen God face to
face, and yet
my life was
spared.”
and
the sun riseth
on
him when
he hath
passed over
Penuel, and he is
halting
on
his thigh;
The sun rose
above
him as
he passed by
Penuel, and he was
limping
because
of
his hip.
therefore the sons
of
Israel
do not eat the sinew
which
shrank,
which `
is '
on
the hollow
of the thigh,
unto
this
day
, because He
came
against
the hollow
of Jacob's
thigh,
against
the
sinew
which
shrank
.
Therefore to
this
day
the Israelites
do not eat the tendon
which is at
the socket
of the hip
, because the socket
of Jacob’s
hip
was
struck
near
that
tendon
.
