‏ Genesis 32:1-2

32:1 ^a God assured Jacob of his protection at a time when Jacob most needed such consolation. His journey was both a physical return to his homeland and a spiritual return to the land of God’s promised blessing. God protects his people and fulfills his plan.
32:2 ^b This is God’s camp! Jacob must have seen the angels that revealed God’s presence as a sign of protection, as with the earlier vision when he was departing the land (28:10-22 ^c).

• Mahanaim (“two camps”): Jacob’s company and the company of angels were together in one place.
