XXXIIεἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ὁδόν· καὶ ἀναβλέψας τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς ἴδεν παρεμβολὴν θεοῦ παρεμβεβληκυῖαν, καὶ συνήντησαν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄγγελοι τοῦ θεοῦ.

εἶπεν δὲ Ἰακώβ, ἡνίκα ἴδεν αὐτούς, Παρεμβολὴ θεοῦ αὕτη· ¹ καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Παπεμβολαί.

Ἀπέστειλεν δὲ Ἰακὼβ ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἠσαὺ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ²³⁴ αὐτοῦ εἰς γῆν Σηεὴρ εἰς χώραν Ἐδώμ,

καὶ ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς λέγων Οὕτως ἐρεῖτε τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἠσαύ Οὕτως λέγει ὁ παῖς σου Ἰακώβ ⁵ Μετὰ Λαβὰν παρῴκησα καὶ ἐχρόνισα ἕως τοῦ νῦν·

καὶ ἐγένοντο μοι βόες καὶ ὄνοι καὶ πρόβατα καὶ παῖδες καὶ παιδίσκαι· καὶ ἀπέστειλα ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἠσαύ, ἵνα εὕρῃ ὁ παῖς σου ⁶ χάριν ἐναντίον σου.

καὶ ἀνέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι πρὸς Ἰακὼβ λέγοντες Ἤλθομεν πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφόν σου Ἠσαύ, καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς ⁷ συνάντησίν σοι, καὶ τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

ἐφοβεῖτο Ἰακὼβ σφόδρα, καὶ ἡπορεῖτο· καὶ διεῖλεν τὸν λαὸν τὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ ⁸ καὶ τοὺς βόας καὶ τὰ πρόβατα εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς.

καὶ εἶπεν Ἰακώβ Ἐὰν ἔλθῃ Ἠσαὺ εἰς παρ’ ἐμβολὴν μίαν καὶ ἐκκόψῃ αὐτήν, ⁹ ἔσται ἡ παρεμβολὴ ἡ δευτέρα εἰς τὸ σώζεσθαι.

εἶπεν δὲ Ὁ θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἀβραὰμ καὶ ὁ θεὸς τοῦ πατρός μου Ἰσαάκ, κύριε ὁ εἴπας μοι Ἀπότρεχε εἰς τὴν γῆν τῆς γενέσεως σου, καὶ εὖ ¹⁰ σε ποιήσω·

ἱκανοῦσαί μοι ἀπὸ πάσης δικαιοσύνης καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης ἁληθείας ἧς ἐποίησας τῷ παιδί σου· ἐν γὰρ τῇ ῥάβδῳ μου διέβην ¹¹ τὸν Ἰορδάνην τοῦτον, νῦν δὲ γέγονα εἰς δύο παρεμβολάς.

ἐξελοῦ με ἐκ χειρὸς τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου Ἠσαύ· ὅτι φοβοῦμαι ἐγὼ αὐτόν, μή ¹² ποτε ἐλθὼν πατάξῃ με καὶ μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις.

σὺ δὲ καλῶς εὖ σε ποιήσω, καὶ θήσω τὸ σπέρμα σου ὡς τὴν ἄμμον τῆς ¹³ θαλάσσης, ἣ οὐκ ἀριθμηθήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ πλήθους.

καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἐκεῖ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην. καὶ ἔλαβεν ὧν ἔφερεν δῶρα καὶ ἐξα- ¹⁴ πέστειλεν Ἠσαὺ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ,

αἶγας διακοσίας, ¹⁵ εἴκοσι, πρόβατα διακόσια, κριοὺς εἴκοσι,

καμήλους θηλαζούσας καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῶν τριάκοντα, βόας τεσσεράκοντα, ταύρους ¹⁶ δέκα, ὄνους εἴκοσι, πώλους δέκα.

καὶ ἔδωκεν διὰ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ποίμνιον κατὰ μόνας. εἶπεν δὲ τοῖς παισὶν αὐτοῦ ἔμπροσθέν μου, καὶ διάστημα ποιεῖτε ἀνὰ μέσον ¹⁷ ποίμνης καὶ ποίμνης.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ λέγων Ἐάν σοι συναντήσῃ Ἠσαὺ ὁ ἀδελφός μου καὶ ἐρωτᾷ σε λέγων τίνος εἶ ; ¹⁸ καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ ; καὶ τίνος ταῦτα τὰ προπορευόμενά σου ;

καὶ ¹⁹²⁰ ἐρεῖς τοῦ παιδός σου Ἰακώβ· δῶρα ἀπέσταλκεν τῷ κυρίῳ μου Ἠσαύ, καὶ ἰδοὺ αὐτὸς ὀπίσω ἡμῶν.

καὶ ἐνετείλατο τῷ πρώτῳ ²¹ καὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ καὶ τῷ τρίτῳ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς προπορευομένοις ὀπίσω τῶν ποιμνίων τούτων λέγων Τατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο λαλήσατε τῷ Ἠσαὺ ἐν τῷ εὑρεῖν ὑμᾶς αὐτόν,

καὶ ἐρεῖτε Ἴδου ὁ παῖς σου ²² Ἰακὼβ παραγίνεται ὀπίσω ἡμῶν. εἶπεν γάρ Ἐξιλάσομαι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐν τοῖς δώροις τοῖς προπορευομένοις αὐτοῦ, καὶ μετὰ τοῦτο ὄψομαι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· ἴσως γὰρ προσδέξεται τὸ πρόσωπόν μου.

καὶ προεπορεύοντο τὰ δῶρα κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ. ²³ αὐτὸς ἐκοιμήθη τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ.

Ἀναστὰς ²⁴ δὲ τὴν νύκτα ἐκείνην ἔλαβεν τὰς δύο γυναῖκας καὶ τὰς δύο καὶ τὰ ἕνδεκα παιδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέβη τὴν διάβασιν τοῦ

καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτοὺς καὶ διέβη τὸν χειμάρρουν, καὶ διεπάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.

ὑπελείφθη δὲ Ἰακὼβ μόνος, καὶ ²⁵ μετ’ αὐτοῦ ἄνθρωπος ἕως πρωί.

ἴδεν δὲ ὅτι οὐ δύναται ²⁶ πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ ἥψατο τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐνάρκησεν τὸ πλάτος τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακὼβ ἐν τῷ παλαίειν αὐτὸν μετ’ αὐτοῦ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἀπόστειλόν με· ἀνέβη γὰρ ὁ ὄρθρος. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν ²⁷ Ού μή σε ἀποστείλω, ἐὰν μὴ εὐλογήσῃς με.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ Τί τὸ ²⁸ ὄνομά σού ἐστιν; ὁ δὲ εἶπεν Ἰακώβ.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Οὐ κληθήσεται ²⁹ ἔτι τὸ ὄνομά σου Ἰακώβ, ἀλλὰ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ ὄνομά σου ἔσται· ὅτι ἐνίσχυσας μετὰ θεοῦ, καὶ μετὰ ἀνθρώπων δυνατός.

ἠρώτησεν δὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ εἶπεν Ἀνάγγειλόν μοι τὸ ὄνομά σου. ³⁰ καὶ εἶπεν ἵνα τί σὺ ἐρωτᾆς τὸ ὄνομά μου ; καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ·

καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Ἰακὼβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου Εἶδος ³¹ θεοῦ· ἴδον γὰρ θεὸν πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον, καὶ ἐσώθη μου ἡ ψυχή.

ἀνέτειλεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἥλιος ἡνίκα παρῆλθεν τὸ Εἶδος τοῦ ³² θεοῦ· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐπέσκαζεν τῷ μηρῷ αὐτοῦ.

ἕνεκεν γὰρ τούτου ³³ οὐ μὴ φάγωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ τὸ νεῦρον ὃ ἐνάρκησεν, ὅ ἑστιν ³⁴ ἐπὶ τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακώβ, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας· ταύτης· ὅτι ³⁵ ἥψατο τοῦ πλάτους τοῦ μηροῦ Ἰακὼβ τοῦ νεύρου, καὶ ἐνάρκησεν.’ ¶ ³⁶

Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

When he saw them, Jacob said, This is God’s host. He called the name of that place Mahanaim.

Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom .

He commanded them, saying, This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have sojourned with Laban , and stayed until now.

I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, men-servants, and maid-servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.

The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau. Not only that, but he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him.

Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed: and he divided the people who were with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two companies;

and he said, If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.

Jacob said, God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good.

I am not worthy of the least of all the lovingkindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan ; and now I have become two companies.

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.

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.

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

two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.

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.

The man said, Let me go, for the day breaks. Jacob said, I won’t let you go, unless you bless me.

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

He said, Your name will no longer be called ’Jacob,’ but, ’ Israel ,’ for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.

Jacob asked him, Please tell me your name. He said, Why is it that you ask what my name is? He blessed him there.

Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for, he said, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.

Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.
