WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.320 Chapter 32 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 00:05.660 --> 00:09.660 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host. 00:09.900 --> 00:12.220 And he called the name of that place Mahanaim. 00:12.540 --> 00:16.840 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, unto the land of Seir, 00:16.980 --> 00:17.800 the country of Edom. 00:18.160 --> 00:21.760 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau. 00:22.460 --> 00:27.220 Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there 00:27.220 --> 00:27.840 until now. 00:27.840 --> 00:33.080 And I have oxen and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants. 00:33.740 --> 00:38.140 And I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight. 00:38.460 --> 00:42.480 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, 00:42.640 --> 00:46.760 and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him. 00:46.960 --> 00:51.040 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed, and he divided the people that 00:51.040 --> 00:54.740 was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands, 00:54.900 --> 01:00.360 and said, If Esau come to the one company and smite it, then the other company which 01:00.360 --> 01:01.500 is left shall escape. 01:01.800 --> 01:07.340 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, 01:07.840 --> 01:12.060 the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy 01:12.060 --> 01:14.220 kindred, and I will deal well with thee. 01:14.740 --> 01:19.900 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, 01:20.280 --> 01:22.100 which thou hast showed unto thy servant. 01:22.100 --> 01:27.880 For with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I am become two bands. 01:28.560 --> 01:32.480 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, 01:32.680 --> 01:37.720 for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the 01:37.720 --> 01:38.040 children. 01:38.620 --> 01:43.100 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the 01:43.100 --> 01:45.920 sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. 01:45.920 --> 01:50.020 And he lodged there that same night, and took of that which came to his hand a 01:50.020 --> 01:53.960 present for Esau his brother, two hundred she-goats, and twenty he-goats, 01:54.180 --> 01:58.320 two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, thirty milch-camels with their colts, 01:58.520 --> 02:02.260 forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she-asses, and ten foals. 02:02.600 --> 02:06.480 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves, 02:06.960 --> 02:12.180 and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove 02:12.180 --> 02:12.840 and drove. 02:13.140 --> 02:17.100 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, 02:17.140 --> 02:22.000 and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou, and whither goest thou, and whose are 02:22.000 --> 02:22.800 these before thee? 02:23.240 --> 02:26.660 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's. 02:27.440 --> 02:33.380 It is a present sent unto my lord Esau, and behold, also he is behind us. 02:33.500 --> 02:37.340 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the 02:37.340 --> 02:41.220 drove, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau when ye find him, 02:41.700 --> 02:47.000 and say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. 02:47.240 --> 02:52.900 For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and 02:52.900 --> 02:54.540 afterward I will see his face. 02:55.400 --> 02:57.060 Peradventure he will accept of me. 02:57.300 --> 03:01.420 So went the present over before him, and himself lodged that night in the 03:01.420 --> 03:01.740 company. 03:01.740 --> 03:05.980 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women servants, 03:06.200 --> 03:09.240 and his eleven sons, and passed over the four Jabbok. 03:09.680 --> 03:13.160 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had. 03:13.640 --> 03:15.080 And Jacob was left alone. 03:15.660 --> 03:18.540 And there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 03:19.020 --> 03:22.920 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his 03:22.920 --> 03:26.900 thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him. 03:27.200 --> 03:30.020 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. 03:30.020 --> 03:34.220 And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 03:34.400 --> 03:36.600 And he said unto him, What is thy name? 03:36.940 --> 03:38.200 And he said, Jacob. 03:38.680 --> 03:42.840 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel. 03:43.340 --> 03:48.060 For as a prince hast thou power with God, and with men, and hast prevailed. 03:48.480 --> 03:51.900 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. 03:52.320 --> 03:55.960 And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? 03:55.960 --> 03:57.940 And he blessed him there. 03:58.220 --> 04:00.720 And Jacob called the name of the place Penuel. 04:01.080 --> 04:05.920 For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. 04:06.180 --> 04:10.900 And as he passed over Penuel, the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh. 04:11.480 --> 04:15.640 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon 04:15.640 --> 04:17.680 the hollow of the thigh unto this day. 04:18.040 --> 04:21.580 Because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
