Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Psa 91:112Ki 6:16-17Eph 3:10Heb 1:4Psa 34:71Co 3:22 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim. 1 2Sa 2:8Jos 21:38Jos 5:141Ki 2:82Sa 17:24Luk 2:13Psa 148:2Psa 34:7
Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom. Gen 25:30Jos 24:4Deu 2:5Gen 14:6Gen 33:14Deu 2:22Gen 27:41-42Gen 33:16 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now. 1Pe 3:61Ki 20:321Sa 26:17Ecc 10:4Exo 32:22Gen 23:6Gen 27:29Gen 27:37 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’” Gen 33:8Gen 33:152Sa 16:4Gen 30:43Gen 31:16Gen 33:11Gen 47:25Job 6:22 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.” Gen 33:1Amo 5:19Gen 27:40-41Gen 32:11Gen 32:8 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies. Gen 35:32Co 1:42Co 1:8-102Ti 3:12Act 14:22Exo 14:10Gen 32:11Isa 28:26 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.” Gen 33:1-3Mat 10:16 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’ Gen 31:42Psa 34:4-6Gen 28:13Gen 31:13Gen 31:3Gen 31:53Psa 50:151Sa 30:6 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies. Psa 18:35Gen 24:271Ti 1:12-152Sa 7:181Jn 1:8-101Pe 5:52Co 12:11Dan 9:8-9 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. Mat 6:13Pro 18:19Psa 59:1-21Sa 12:101Sa 24:15Dan 3:17Gen 27:41Hos 10:14 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’” Gen 28:13-15Heb 6:172Ti 2:13Gen 22:17Gen 46:3-4Mat 24:35Tit 1:21Sa 15:29
He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother: Pro 18:16Gen 43:11Gen 43:26Pro 17:8Pro 19:6Pro 21:141Sa 25:271Sa 25:8 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, Deu 8:18Job 1:3Job 42:121Sa 25:2Gen 30:43Gen 31:16Gen 31:9 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female 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.” Gen 32:20Gen 33:8-9Isa 28:26Mat 10:16Pro 2:11Psa 112:5 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?’ Gen 33:3 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.’” Gen 32:4-5 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.” Job 42:8-9Pro 21:141Ki 20:311Sa 25:17-351Sa 6:52Ti 2:25Gen 43:11Jon 3:9
So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok. Deu 3:16Deu 2:371Ti 5:8Jos 12:2Gen 35:22-26Gen 35:18Gen 29:21 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. Hos 12:3-5Eph 6:12Gen 32:28Luk 13:24Gen 32:30Eph 6:18Gen 30:8Luk 22:44 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled. 2Co 12:7-9Hos 12:3-4Gen 32:32Isa 41:14Isa 45:11Mat 26:41Gen 19:22Mat 15:22-28 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Hos 12:4Psa 115:12-132Co 12:8-91Ch 4:10Psa 67:1Sng 3:4Luk 18:1-7Luk 24:28-29
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.” Rev 2:17Gen 35:10Isa 62:2-4Hos 12:3-5Gen 27:33-36Gen 17:5Gen 17:15Gen 25:31
Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” Isa 9:6Jdg 13:16-18Job 11:7Gen 27:28-29Gen 28:13-14Hos 6:1Luk 1:19Pro 30:4
He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; 2 for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Exo 24:10-11Isa 6:5Num 12:8Deu 5:24Gen 16:13Exo 33:19-23Jhn 1:182Ti 1:10 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh. 2Co 12:72Co 12:9Gen 19:15Gen 19:23Gen 32:25Jdg 8:8Mal 4:2Psa 38:17 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. 1Sa 5:5
