32:1 icapsnd Iacob went on his way, and the Angels of God met him.  
32:2 And when Iacob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste: and hee called the name of that place Mahanaim. Margin Note
32:3 And Iacob sent messengers before him, to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir, the countrey of Edom. Margin Note
32:4 And he commaunded them, saying, Thus shall ye speake vnto my lord Esau, Thy seruant Iacob saith thus, I haue soiourned with Laban, and stayed there vntill now.  
32:5 And I haue oxen, and asses, flockes, and men seruants and women seruants: and I haue sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.  
32:6 And the messengers returned to Iacob, saying, Wee came to thy brother Esau, and also he commeth to meet thee, and foure hundred men with him.  
32:7 Then Iacob was greatly afraid, and distressed, and he diuided the people that was with him, and the flockes, and herdes, and the camels into two bands,  
32:8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left, shall escape.  
32:9 And Iacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst vnto me, Returne vnto thy countrey, and to thy kinred, and I will deale well with thee:  
32:10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe I passed ouer this Iordan, and now I am become two bands. Margin Note
32:11 Deliuer me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I feare him, lest he will come, and smite me, and the mother with the children. Margin Note
32:12 And thou saidst, I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbred for multitude.  
32:13 And he lodged there that same night, and tooke of that which came to his hand, a present for Esau his brother:  
32:14 Two hundred shee goats, and twentie hee goats, two hundred ewes, and twentie rammes,  
32:15 Thirtie milch camels with their colts, fortie kine, and ten bulles, twenty shee ashes, and ten foales.  
32:16 And hee deliuered them into the hand of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and said vnto his seruants, Passe ouer before me, and put a space betwixt droue and droue.  
32:17 And he commanded the formost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?  
32:18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iacobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and behold also, he is behind vs.  
32:19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droues, saying, On this maner shal you speake vnto Esau, when you find him.  
32:20 And say ye moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iacob is behind vs: for he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peraduenture he will accept of me. Margin Note
32:21 So went the present ouer before him: and himselfe lodged that night in the company.

32:26 And he said, Let me goe, for the day breaketh: and he said, I will not let thee goe, except thou blesse me.  
32:27 And he said vnto him, what is thy name? and he said, Iacob.  
32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Iacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God, and with men, and hast preuailed.  
32:29 And Iacob asked him, and saide, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name: and he said, wherefore is it, that thou doest aske after my name? and he blessed him there.  
32:30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued. Margin Note
32:31 And as he passed ouer Penuel, the sunne rose vpon him, and he halted vpon his thigh.
