Matthew(i)
11 Deliuer me from the handes of my brother Esau: for I feare hym: least he wyll come and smyte the mother wyth the chyldren.
12 Thou saydest that thou wouldest surely do me good, and wouldest make my sede as the sande of the sea, whyche canne not be numbred for multitude.
13 And he taried ther that same nyghte, and toke of that which came to hand a present, vnto Esau hys brother
14 .ij. hundred she gootes, and .xx. he gootes: .ij. hundred shepe, and .xx. rammes:
15 thyrtye mylch camels wyth their coltes .xl. kyne, and .x. bulles .xx. she asses, & .x. foles,
16 and deliuered theym vnto hys seruauntes, euery droue by them selues, & said vnto theim, go forth before me & put a space betwyxte euerye droue.
17 And he commaunded the formest sayinge. When Esau mi brother meteth the & axeth the sayinge: whose seruaunte arte thou and whither goest thou, and whose are these that go before the:
18 thou shalte say they be thy seruaunt Iacobs, and are a present sent vnto my Lorde Esau, and beholde he him selfe commeth after vs.
19 And so commaunded he the second, & euen so the thyrd, & likewise al that folowed the droues sayinge, of this maner se that ye speake vnto Esau saying when ye mete hym,
20 & said moreouer. Behold thy seruaunt Iacob cometh after vs, for he said. I wyl pease his wrath wt the present that goth before me, and afterward I wil se hym my selfe, so peraduenture he wil receiue me to grace.
21 So wente the present before hym and he taried all that nyght in the tent,
22 and rose vp the same night and toke hys two wyues, and his two maydens and hys .xi. sonnes, and went ouer the fourd Iabok.
23 And he toke them and sent them ouer the ryuer, and sente ouer that he had,
24 & taried behind hym selfe alone. And ther wresteled a man wyth him vnto the breaking of the day.
25 And when he sawe that he could not preuayle agaynste hym, he smote hym vnder the thye, & the senowe of Iacobs thye shranke as he wrestled with him
26 And he said: let me goo, for the day breaketh. And he said: I wyll not lette the go, excepte thou blesse me.
27 And he sayd vnto hym: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob.
28 And he said: thou shalt be called Iacob no more, but Israel. For thou hast wresteled with God and hast preuayled.
