Genesis 32:11-28

11Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for fI fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children. 12But gyou said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’”

13So he stayed there that night, and from what he had with him he took ha present for his brother Esau, 14two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 15thirty milking camels and their calves, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys. 16These he handed over to his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass on ahead of me and put a space between drove and drove.” 17He instructed the first, “When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, ‘To whom do you belong? Where are you going? And whose are these ahead of you?’ 18then you shall say, ‘They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a present sent to my lord Esau. And moreover, he is behind us.’” 19He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, “You shall say the same thing to Esau when you find him, 20and you shall say, ‘Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.’” For he thought, “I may appease him
Hebrew  appease his face
with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
Hebrew  he will lift my face
21So the present passed on ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.

Jacob Wrestles with God

22The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children,
Or sons
and crossed the ford of the lJabbok.
23He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. 24And Jacob was left alone. And ma man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, n“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28Then he said, o“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,
 Israel means He strives with God, or God strives
for qyou have striven with God and rwith men, and have prevailed.”
