01:032:013 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which
           came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;

01:032:014 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes,
           and twenty rams,

01:032:015 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten
           bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

01:032:016 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.

01:032:017 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother
           meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and
           whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?

01:032:018 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.

01:032:019 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 him.

01:032:020 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.

01:032:021 So went the present over before him:  and himself lodged that
           night in the company.

01:032:022 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.

01:032:023 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over
           that he had.

01:032:024 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him
           until the breaking of the day.

01:032:025 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.

01:032:026 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh.  And he said, I
           will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

01:032:027 And he said unto him, What is thy name?  And he said, Jacob.

01:032:028 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
           Israel:  for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men,
           and hast prevailed.

01:032:029 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 him there.

01:032:030 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel:  for I have seen
           God face to face, and my life is preserved.
