^{11 Ref} Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, and the mothers with the children.

^{12 Ref} You said, 'I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which can't be numbered because there are so many.'"

^{13 Ref} He lodged there that night, and took from that which he had with him, a present for Esau, his brother:

^{14 Ref} two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

¹⁵ thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty she-donkeys and ten foals.

^{16 Ref} He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd."

^{17 Ref} He commanded the foremost, saying, "When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, 'Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?'

^{18 Ref} Then you shall say, 'They are your servant, Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.'"

¹⁹ He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, "This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.

^{20 Ref} You shall say, 'Not only that, but 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 me."

²¹ So the present passed over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

^{22 Ref} He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.

²³ He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.

^{24 Ref} Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.

^{25 Ref} When he saw that he didn't prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained, as he wrestled.

^{26 Ref} The man said, "Let me go, for the day breaks." Jacob said, "I won't let you go, unless you bless me."

²⁷ He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."

^{28 Ref} He said, "Your name will no longer be called 'Jacob,' but, 'Israel,' for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed."
