Genesis 32:13-32

[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,  thou? and whose are these before  [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  [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] 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  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  [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 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  [30] And Jacob  called  the name  of the place  Peniel:  for I have seen  God  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.
