American Standard Version (ASV) With Strong Codes

1. And Jacob[H3290] went[H1980] on his way[H1870], and the angels[H4397] of God[H430] met him[H6293].

2. And Jacob[H3290] said[H559] when he saw them[H7200], This is God[H430]'s host[H4264]: and he called[H7121] the name[H8034] of that place[H4725] Mahanaim[H4266].

3. And Jacob[H3290] sent[H7971] messengers[H4397] before him[H6440] to Esau[H6215] his brother[H251] unto the land[H776] of Seir[H8165], the field[H7704] of Edom[H123].

4. And he commanded[H6680] them[H559], saying, Thus shall ye say[H559] unto my lord[H113] Esau[H6215]: Thus saith[H559] thy servant[H5650] Jacob[H3290], I have sojourned[H1481] with Laban[H3837], and stayed until now[H309]:

5. and I have oxen[H7794], and asses[H2543], and flocks[H6629], and men-servants[H5650], and maid-servants[H8198]: and I have sent[H7971] to tell[H5046] my lord[H113], that I may find[H4672] favor[H2580] in thy sight[H5869].

6. And the messengers[H4397] returned[H7725] to Jacob[H3290], saying[H559], We came[H935] to thy brother[H251] Esau[H6215], and moreover he cometh[H1980] to meet thee[H7125], and four hundred[H3967] men with him[H376].

7. Then Jacob[H3290] was greatly[H3966] afraid[H3372] and was distressed[H3334]: and he divided[H2673] the people[H5971] that were with him[H6629], and the flocks, and the herds[H1241], and the camels[H1581], into two[H8147] companies[H4264];

8. and he said[H559], If Esau[H6215] come[H935] to the one[H259] company[H4264], and smite it[H5221], then the company[H4264] which is left[H7604] shall escape[H6413].

9. And Jacob[H3290] said[H559], O God[H430] of my father[H1] Abraham[H85], and God[H430] of my father[H1] Isaac[H3327], O Jehovah[H3068], who saidst[H559] unto me[H7725], Return unto thy country[H776], and to thy kindred[H4138], and I will do thee good[H3190]:

10. I am not worthy of the least[H6994] of all the lovingkindnesses[H2617], and of all the truth[H571], which thou hast showed[H6213] unto thy servant[H5650]; for with my staff[H4731] I passed over[H5674] this Jordan[H3383]; and now I am become two[H8147] companies[H4264].

11. Deliver me[H5337], I pray thee[H3027], from the hand of my brother[H251], from the hand[H3027] of Esau[H6215]: for I fear[H3373] him[H935], lest he come and smite me[H5221], the mother[H517] with[H5921] the children[H1121].

12. And thou saidst[H559], I will surely[H3190] do thee good[H3190], and make[H7760] thy seed[H2233] as the sand[H2344] of the sea[H3220], which cannot be numbered[H5608] for multitude[H7230].

13. And he lodged[H3885] there that night[H3915], and took[H3947] of that which he had[H935] with him[H3027] a present[H4503] for Esau[H6215] his brother[H251]:

14. two hundred[H3967] she-goats[H5795] and twenty[H6242] he-goats[H8495], two hundred[H3967] ewes[H7353] and twenty[H6242] rams[H352],

15. thirty[H7970] milch[H3243] camels[H1581] and their colts[H1121], forty[H705] cows[H6510] and ten[H6235] bulls[H6499], twenty[H6242] she-asses[H860] and ten[H6235] foals[H5895].

16. And he delivered[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of his servants[H5650], every drove[H5739] by itself[H559], and said unto his servants[H5650], Pass over[H5674] before me[H6440], and put[H7760] a space[H7305] betwixt[H996] drove[H5739] and[H996] drove[H5739].

17. And he commanded[H6680] the foremost[H7223], saying[H559], When Esau[H6215] my brother[H251] meeteth thee[H6298], and asketh thee[H7592], saying[H559], Whose art thou[H3212]? and whither goest thou[H6440]? and whose are these before thee?

18. then thou shalt say[H559], They are thy servant[H5650] Jacob[H3290]'s; it is a present[H4503] sent[H7971] unto my lord[H113] Esau[H6215]: and[H310], behold, he also is behind us.

19. And he[H6680] commanded also[H1571] the second[H8145], and the third[H7992], and all that followed[H1980] the droves[H5739], saying[H559], On this manner[H1697] shall ye speak[H1696] unto Esau[H6215], when ye find him[H4672];

20. and ye[H559] shall say[H1571], Moreover, behold[H5650], thy servant Jacob[H3290] is behind us[H310]. For he said[H559], I will appease[H3722] him[H6440] with the present[H4503] that goeth[H1980] before me[H6440], and afterward[H310] I will see[H7200] his face[H6440]; peradventure he will accept[H5375] me[H6440].

21. So[H5674] the present[H4503] passed over[H5674] before him[H6440]: and he himself lodged[H3885] that night[H3915] in the company[H4264].

22. And he rose up[H6965] that night[H3915], and took[H3947] his two[H8147] wives[H802], and his two[H8147] handmaids[H8198], and his eleven[H6240] children[H3206], and passed over[H5674] the ford[H4569] of the Jabbok[H2999].

23. And he took them[H3947], and sent them over[H5674] the stream[H5158], and sent over that which he had[H5674].

24. And Jacob[H3290] was left[H3498] alone[H79]; and there wrestled a man[H376] with him until the breaking[H5927] of the day[H7837].

25. And when he saw[H7200] that he prevailed[H3201] not against him[H5060], he touched the hollow of his thigh[H3409]; and the hollow[H3709] of Jacob[H3290]'s thigh[H3409] was strained[H3363], as he wrestled with him[H79].

26. And he said[H559], Let me go[H7971], for the day[H7837] breaketh[H5927]. And he said[H559], I will not let thee go[H7971], except[H518] thou bless me[H1288].

27. And he said[H559] unto him[H8034], What is thy name? And he said[H559], Jacob[H3290].

28. And he said[H559], Thy name[H8034] shall be called[H559] no more Jacob[H3290], but Israel[H3478]: for thou hast striven[H8280] with God[H430] and with men[H582], and hast prevailed[H3201].

29. And Jacob[H3290] asked[H7592] him[H559], and said, Tell[H5046] me[H8034], I pray thee, thy name. And he said[H559], Wherefore is it[H2088] that thou dost ask[H7592] after my name[H8034]? And he blessed him there[H1288].

30. And Jacob[H3290] called[H7121] the name[H8034] of the place[H4725] Peniel[H6439]: for[H7200], said he, I have seen God[H430] face[H6440] to face[H6440], and my life[H5315] is preserved[H5337].

31. And the sun[H8121] rose[H2224] upon him as he passed over[H5674] Penuel[H6439], and he limped[H6760] upon his thigh[H3409].

32. Therefore the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] eat[H398] not the sinew[H1517] of the hip[H5384] which is upon the hollow[H3709] of the thigh[H3409], unto this day[H3117]: because he touched[H5060] the hollow[H3709] of Jacob[H3290]'s thigh[H3409] in the sinew[H1517] of the hip[H5384].
