19 And he commanded the second also, and the third, yea all that were going on behind the droves, saying,––According to this word, shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 Then shall ye say, Also, lo! thy servant Jacob, is behind us. For he said: I must pacify him with the present that goeth on before me, And, after that, will I see his face: Peradventure he will accept me.
21 So the present passed over before him,––whereas, he himself, tarried that night in the camp.
22 And he arose in that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons,––and passed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 So he took them, and sent them over the brook,––and sent over that which he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone,––and there wrestled a man with him, until the uprisings of the dawn. 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 put out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 Then said he––Let me go, for uprisen hath the dawn. And he said: I will not let thee go,––except, thou have blessed me. 27 Then he said unto him––What is thy name? And he said––Jacob. 28 Then he said––Not Jacob, shall thy name be called any more, but, Israel,––For thou hast contended with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
