Genesis 32:27 (KJV) King James Version

1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob’s; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
1 And Jacob H3290 went H1980 VQQ3MS on his way H1870 , and the angels H4397 of God H430 NAME-4MP met H6293 him .
2 And when H834 K-RPRO Jacob H3290 saw H7200 them , he said H559 , This H2088 DPRO is God H430 EDP \'s host H4264 : and he called H7121 the name H8034 of that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS place H4725 D-NMS Mahanaim H4266 .
3 And Jacob H3290 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS messengers H4397 before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him to H413 Esau H6215 his brother H251 CMS-3MS unto the land H776 NFS-3FS of Seir H8165 LFS , the country H7704 CMS of Edom H123 .
4 And he commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS them , saying H559 L-VQFC , Thus H3541 shall ye speak H559 unto my lord H113 Esau H6215 ; Thy servant H5650 Jacob H3290 saith H559 VQQ3MS thus H3541 , I have sojourned H1481 with H5973 PREP Laban H3837 , and stayed there H309 until H5704 now H6258 :
5 And I have H1961 oxen H7794 CMS , and asses H2543 , flocks H6629 NMS , and menservants H5650 W-NMS , and womenservants H8198 : and I have sent H7971 to tell H5046 L-VHFC my lord H113 , that I may find H4672 grace H2580 NMS in thy sight H5869 .
6 And the messengers H4397 returned H7725 W-VUY3MP to H413 PREP Jacob H3290 , saying H559 L-VQFC , We came H935 to H413 thy brother H251 Esau H6215 , and also H1571 W-CONJ he cometh H1980 to meet H7125 thee , and four H702 W-BFS hundred H3967 BFP men H376 with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
7 Then Jacob H3290 was greatly afraid H3372 W-VQY3MS and distressed H3334 : and he divided H2673 the people H5971 that H834 was with H854 PREP-3MS him , and the flocks H6629 , and herds H1241 D-NMS , and the camels H1581 , into two H8147 bands H4264 ;
8 And said H559 W-VQY3MS , If H518 Esau H6215 come H935 VQY3MS to H413 the one H259 company H4264 , and smite H5221 it , then the other company H4264 which is left H7604 shall escape H6413 .
9 And Jacob H3290 said H559 , O God H430 CDP of my father H1 CMS-1MS Abraham H85 , and God H430 of my father H1 CMS-1MS Isaac H3327 , the LORD H3068 EDS which saidst H559 D-VQPMS unto H413 PREP-1MS me , Return H7725 VQFC unto thy country H776 , and to thy kindred H4138 , and I will deal well H3190 with H5973 PREP-2FS thee :
10 I am not worthy H6994 of the least of all H3605 M-CMS the mercies H2617 , and of all H3605 WM-CMS the truth H571 , which H834 thou hast showed H6213 VQQ2MS unto thy servant H5650 ; for H3588 CONJ with my staff H4731 I passed over H5674 this H2088 D-PMS Jordan H3383 D-EFS ; and now H6258 W-ADV I am become H1961 VQQ1MS two H8147 bands H4264 .
11 Deliver H5337 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , from the hand H3027 M-GFS of my brother H251 , from the hand H3027 M-GFS of Esau H6215 : for H3588 I H595 PPRO-1MS fear H3372 him , lest H6435 he will come H935 VQY3MS and smite H5221 me , and the mother H517 GFS with H5921 the children H1121 .
12 And thou H859 W-PPRO-2MS saidst H559 VQQ2MS , I will surely do thee good H3190 VHFA , and make H7760 W-VQQ1MS thy seed H2233 CMS-2MS as the sand H2344 of the sea H3220 D-NMS , which H834 cannot H3808 NADV be numbered H5608 for multitude H7230 .
13 And he lodged H3885 there H8033 ADV that same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 ; and took H3947 W-VQY3MS of H4480 that which came H935 to his hand H3027 a present H4503 NFS for Esau H6215 his brother H251 CMP-3MS ;
14 Two hundred H3967 MFD she goats H5795 , and twenty H6242 he goats H8495 , two hundred H3967 MFD ewes H7353 , and twenty H6242 rams H352 ,
15 Thirty H7970 MMP milch H3243 camels H1581 NMP with their colts H1121 , forty H705 MMP kine H6510 , and ten H6235 bulls H6499 , twenty H6242 she asses H860 , and ten H6235 foals H5895 .
16 And he delivered H5414 W-VQQ3MS them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of his servants H5650 , every drove H5739 NMS by themselves H905 L-CMS-3MS ; and said H559 unto H413 his servants H5650 , Pass over H5674 before H6440 L-CMP me , and put H7760 a space H7305 between H996 drove H5739 NMS and drove H5739 NMS .
17 And he commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS the foremost H7223 , saying H559 L-VQFC , When H3588 Esau H6215 my brother H251 meeteth H6298 thee , and asketh H7592 thee , saying H559 L-VQFC , Whose H4310 L-IPRO art thou H859 PPRO-2MS ? and whither H575 goest H1980 VQY2MS thou ? and whose H4310 are these H428 PMP before H6440 thee ?
18 Then thou shalt say H559 , They be thy servant H5650 Jacob H3290 \'s ; it H1931 PPRO-3FS is a present H4503 NFS sent H7971 unto my lord H113 Esau H6215 : and , behold H2009 IJEC , also H1571 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is behind H310 us .
19 And so H1571 CONJ commanded H6680 W-VPY3MS he the second H8145 D-ONUM , and CONJ the third H7992 D-ONUM , and CONJ all H3605 that followed H1980 the droves H5739 , saying H559 L-VQFC , On this H2088 D-PMS manner H1697 shall ye speak H1696 unto H413 Esau H6215 , when ye find H4672 him .
20 And say H559 ye moreover H1571 CONJ , Behold H2009 , thy servant H5650 Jacob H3290 is behind H310 us . For H3588 he said H559 VQQ3MS , I will appease H3722 him with the present H4503 that goeth H1980 before H6440 CMS-3MS me , and afterward H310 I will see H7200 VQY1MS his face H6440 ; peradventure H194 ADV he will accept H5375 VQY3MS of me .
21 So went H5674 the present H4503 over before H5921 him : and himself H1931 W-PPRO-3MS lodged H3885 that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS night H3915 in the company H4264 .
22 And he rose up H6965 W-VQY3MS that H1931 PPRO-3MS night H3915 , and took H3947 W-VQY3MS his two H8147 ONUM wives H802 , and his two H8147 ONUM womenservants H8198 , and his eleven H259 sons H3206 , and passed over H5674 the ford H4569 Jabbok H2999 .
23 And he took H3947 them , and sent them over H5674 the brook H5158 , and sent over H5674 that H834 he had .
24 And Jacob H3290 was left H3498 alone H905 L-CMS-3MS ; and there wrestled H79 a man H376 with H5973 PREP-3MS him until H5704 the breaking H5927 of the day H7837 .
25 And when he saw H7200 that H3588 CONJ he prevailed H3201 not H3808 NADV against him , he touched H5060 W-VQY3MS the hollow H3709 of his thigh H3409 ; and the hollow H3709 of Jacob H3290 \'s thigh H3409 was out of joint H3363 , as he wrestled H79 with H5973 PREP-3MS him .
26 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Let me go H7971 , for H3588 the day H7837 breaketh H5927 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will not H3808 NADV let thee go H7971 , except H518 thou bless H1288 me .
27 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , What H4100 is thy name H8034 ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Jacob H3290 .
28 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thy name H8034 shall be called H559 W-VQY3MS no H3808 NADV more H5750 Jacob H3290 , but H518 Israel H3478 : for H3588 as a prince hast thou power H8280 with H5973 PREP God H430 EDP and with H5973 men H376 NMP , and hast prevailed H3201 .
29 And Jacob H3290 asked H7592 W-VQY3MS him , and said H559 , Tell H5046 me , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , thy name H8034 CMS-2MS . And he said H559 , Wherefore H4100 is it H2088 PMS that thou dost ask H7592 after my name H8034 ? And he blessed H1288 him there H8033 ADV .
30 And Jacob H3290 called H7121 the name H8034 CMS of the place H4725 D-NMS Peniel H6439 : for H3588 I have seen H7200 VQQ1MS God H430 EDP face H6440 NMP to H413 face H6440 NMP , and my life H5315 CFS-1MS is preserved H5337 .
31 And as H834 RPRO he passed over H5674 VQQ3MS Penuel H6439 the sun H8121 D-NMS rose H2224 upon him , and he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS halted H6760 upon H5921 PREP his thigh H3409 .
32 Therefore H5921 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 eat H398 not H3808 ADV of the sinew H1517 which shrank H5384 , which H834 RPRO is upon H5921 PREP the hollow H3709 of the thigh H3409 , unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS : because H3588 CONJ he touched H5060 the hollow H3709 of Jacob H3290 \'s thigh H3409 in the sinew H1517 that shrank H5384 .
