CHAP. XXXII.
1 Iacobs vision at Mahanaim. 3 His message to Esau. 6 He is afraid of Esaus comming. 9 He prayeth for deliuerance. 13 Hee sendeth a present to Esau. 24 He wrestleth with an Angel at Peniel, where hee is called Israel. 31 He halteth.
1 And Iacob went on his way, and the Angels of God met him.
2 And when Iacob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste: and hee called the name of that place Mahanaim.2
3 And Iacob sent messengers before him, to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir, the countrey of Edom.3
9 ¶ And Iacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst vnto me, Returne vnto thy countrey, and to thy kinred, and I will deale well with thee:9
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe I passed ouer this Iordan, and now I am become two bands.10
11 Deliuer me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I feare him, lest he will come, and smite me, and the mother with the children.11
14 Two hundred shee goats, and twentie hee goats, two hundred ewes, and twentie rammes,
20 And say ye moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iacob is behind vs: for he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peraduenture he will accept of me.20
21 So went the present ouer before him: and himselfe lodged that night in the company.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the brooke, and sent ouer that hee had.23
24 ¶ And Iacob was left alone: and there wrestled a man with him, vntill the breaking of the day.24
26 And he said, Let me goe, for the day breaketh: and he said, I will not let thee goe, except thou blesse me.26
27 And he said vnto him, what is thy name? and he said, Iacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Iacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God, and with men, and hast preuailed.28
30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.30
31 And as he passed ouer Penuel, the sunne rose vpon him, and he halted vpon his thigh.
