Genesis
Chapter 32
1
And Jacob went on his way,
and
the angels/messengers {mal'ak} of 'Elohiym/Godhead met him.
2
And when Jacob saw them, he said,
"This
is 'Elohiym/Godhead's army."
And
he called the name of that place Mahanaim
{name means 'two camps'}.
3
And Jacob sent messengers {mal'ak} before him
to
Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
{Note: mal'ak literally means messengers. But it is often translated angels (see verse 1).}
4
And he commanded them, saying,
"Thus
shall you speak unto my lord Esau.
Your
servant Jacob saith thus,
'I
have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now.' 5
And
I have oxen, and asses, flocks,
and
men-servants, and women-servants.
And
I have sent to tell my lord,
that
I may find grace in your sight."
6
And the messengers {mal'ak} returned to Jacob, saying,
"We
came to your brother Esau,
and
also he comes to meet you,
and
four hundred men with him."
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed.
And
he divided the people who were with him,
and
the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two groups.
8
And said, "If Esau come to the one company,
and
destroy it,
then
the other company which is left shall escape."
9-12
And Jacob said,
"O
'Elohiym/Godhead of my father Abraham,
and
'Elohiym/Godhead of my father Isaac,
Jehovah/God
. . . Who said unto me,
'Return
unto your country, and to your kindred,
and
I will deal well with you.' 10
I
am not worthy of the least of all the grace/mercies,
and
of all the doctrine/truth/'divine viewpoint,
which
You have shown unto your servant . . .
for
with my staff
I
passed over this Jordan . . .
and
now I am become two groups. 11
Deliver
me, 'please'/'I pray you',
from
the hand of my brother . . .
from
the hand of Esau . . .
for
I fear him,
lest
he will come and kill me,
and
the mother with the children. 12
And
You said, 'I will surely do you good,
and
make your seed as the sand of the sea,
which
cannot be numbered for multitude.' "
13-15 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/nursing camels with their colts,
forty
kine/cows, 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 between drove and drove."
17
And he commanded the foremost, saying,
"When
Esau my brother meets you, and asks you, saying,
"Whose
are you?
And where do you go?
And whose are these {animals} before you? 18
Then
you shall say,
'They
are your 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 who followed the droves, saying,
"On
this manner shall you speak unto Esau, when you find him."
20
And say you moreover,
"Behold,
your servant Jacob is behind us.
For
he said, 'I will appease him with the present
that
goes before me,
and
afterward I will see his face . . .
perhaps
he will accept from me {these gifts and then himself}.
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 women-servants,
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.
{Verses
24-34: Jacob Wrestles with the Lord}
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
{Jesus Christ} 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 breaks."
And he said, "I will not let you go, except you bless me."
27 And He said unto him, "What is your name?"
And he said, "Jacob."
28
And he said, "Your name shall be called no more Jacob,
but
Israel {name means 'God prevails'}.
For
as a prince have you power with 'Elohiym/Godhead
and
with men,
and
have prevailed.
29
And Jacob asked him, and said,
"Tell
me, please/'I pray you', your name.
And
he said,
"Why
is it that you do ask after my name?"
And he blessed him there.
30
And Jacob called the name of the place
Peniel
{name means 'facing God'}.
For
I have seen 'Elohiym/Godhead 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.
{this means Jacob/Israel hurt his hip in the wrestling match with
Jesus Christ - Israel will limp for the rest of his life.}
32
Therefore, the children of Israel eat not
of
the sinew/tendon 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/tendon that shrank.
