Lavan rose early in the morning. He kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them. Lavan departed and returned to his place.

And early in the morning Lavan rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Lavan departed, and returned to his place.

And Lavan arose early in the morning and he kissed his sons and his daughters and he blessed them and he went, and Lavan returned to his place.

Yaakov went on his way, and the angels of Elohim met him.

And Ya῾aqov went on his way, and angels of God met him.

And Jacob went on his way, and angels of G d [from Eretz Yisrael] met him [to accompany him to Eretz Yisrael].

When Yaakov saw them, he said, This is Elohim’s camp. He named the place Machanayim.

And when Ya῾aqov saw them, he said, This is God’s camp: and he called the name of that place Maĥanayim.

And Jacob said when he saw them: "This is a camp of G d," and he called the place Machanayim [lit., "two camps," those (angels) from outside Eretz Yisrael, who accompanied him until there, and those from Eretz Israel, who came to meet him].

Yaakov sent messengers before him to Eisov, his brother, to the Land of Seir, to the field of Edom.

And Ya῾aqov sent messengers before him to ῾Esav his brother to the land of Se῾ir, the country of Edom.

And Jacob sent angels before him to Esau his brother to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

He commanded them saying, This is what you should say to my master, Eisov. Your servant, Yaakov says, I lived as a stranger with Lavan, and was delayed until now.

And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you speak to my lord ῾Esav; Thy servant Ya῾aqov says thus, I have sojourned with Lavan, and stayed there until now:

And he charged them, saying: Thus shall you say to my lord, to Esau: Thus said your servant Jacob: With Lavan did I sojourn [(You need not hate me for the blessing of mastery over my brothers (27:29), it not having been fulfilled in me; I was merely a sojourner)], and I delayed until now.

I acquired oxen, donkeys, sheep, servants and maidservants. I have sent [these messengers] to tell my master, to find favor in your eyes.

and I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour in thy sight.

And I had [only] ox and ass, flock and manservant and maidservant, [but not "of the dew of the heavens and the fats of the earth" promised me by our father (27:28)], and I have sent to tell my lord to find favor in your eyes [as a seeker of your love].

The messengers returned to Yaakov saying, We came to your brother, to Eisov, and he is also coming to meet you; and there are four hundred men with him.

And the messengers returned to Ya῾aqov, saying, We came to thy brother ῾Esav, and also he is coming to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

And the angels returned to Jacob, saying: We came to [the one you called] your brother, [but found that we had come] to Esau [the wicked one], and he is also coming out against you, and four hundred men with him.

Yaakov was very frightened, and distressed. He divided the people that were with him, along with the sheep, cattle and camels, into two camps.

Then Ya῾aqov was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two camps;

And Jacob feared greatly [that he might be killed], and he was distressed [that he might kill others], and he divided the people that were with him and the flocks and the cattle and the camels into two camps.

He said, If Eisov comes to one camp and attacks it, the remaining camp will survive.

and said, If ῾Esav come to the one camp, and smite it, then the camp which is left shall escape.

And he said: If Esau comes to the one camp and smites it [in battle], then the remaining camp will escape, [(Jacob taking three defensive measures: gift (21), prayer (9), preparation for war (above)].

Yaakov said, God of my father Avraham, and God of my father Yitzchok, Adonoy Who said to me, Return to your land, to your birthplace, and I will do good with you.

And Ya῾aqov said, O God of my father Avraham, and God of my father Yiżĥaq, the Lord Who did say to me, Return to thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:

And Jacob said: The G d of my father Abraham and the G d of my father Isaac, [who under this appellation (28:13), promised to abet me (Ibid. 15)], the L rd, who said to me [under that appellation (32:3)]: Return to your land and to your birthplace and I shall do good with you —

I am unworthy because of all the kindness and of all the faithfulness that you have done with Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan [only] with my staff, and now I have become two camps.

I am unworthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast shown Thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Yarden; and now I am become two camps.

I have become small [i.e., my merits have diminished] because of all of the lovingkindnesses and all of the truth [the fulfillment of all Your assurances] that You have done with Your servant. For with my staff did I cross this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

Rescue me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Eisov, for I fear him, that he will come and attack me—mother and children alike.

Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of ῾Esav: for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with the children.

Deliver me, I pray You, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau [i.e., from him who deports himself to me not as my brother, but as the wicked Esau.] For I fear him, lest he come and smite me, mother with children.

You have said, I will do very good with you, and I will make your offspring like the sands of the sea, which are too numerous to count.

And Thou didst say, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed like the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

And You said: (I shall do) good [in your merit], I shall do good [in your fathers' merits] with you, and I shall make your seed as the sand of the sea which cannot be counted for multitude [see 28:15 and 22:17].

He spent that night there. He took from that which comes into his hand, [for] a present to his brother, Eisov.

And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for ῾Esav his brother;

And he slept there that night, and he took from what he possessed a present for Esau his brother.

Two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams.

two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,

Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, [the requisite number of mates], two hundred ewes and twenty rams.

Thirty nursing camels and their young, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.

Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten he-asses.

He placed them in the hand of his servants, each herd by itself. He said to his servants, Pass on ahead of me, and keep a space between each herd.

And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space between drove and drove.

And he gave them into the hands of his servants, each herd [of each kind] by itself. And he said to his servants: Pass by before me [about a day's journey or less], and make a space [as far as the eye can see] between herd and herd [to impress Esau with the bounty].

He commanded the first one, saying, When my brother, Eisov meets you and asks you saying, To whom do you belong, and where are you going; and who is the owner of this that is before you?

And he commanded the foremost, saying, When ῾Esav my brother meets thee, and asks thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither dost thou go? and whose are these before thee?

And he charged the first, saying: If Esau my brother meets you and asks you: To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and for whom are these before you?

You should [then] say, [They belong] to your servant, Yaakov. It is a present sent to my master, Eisov, and see, he is also behind us.

Then thou shalt say, They are thy servant Ya῾aqov’s, it is a present sent to my lord ῾Esav: and, behold, also he is behind us.

Then you shall say, [answering first things first, and last, last]: [We belong] to our servant Jacob, [and these before us are] a present sent to my lord, Esau, and, behold, he [Jacob], too, is behind us.

He also commanded the second and also the third, and to all who followed after the herds, saying, In like manner must you speak to Eisov when you find [meet] him.

And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, In this manner shall you speak to ῾Esav, when you find him.

And he charged the second, also the third, also all who went behind the flocks, saying: Thus shall you speak to Esau when you find him.

You should also say, See, your servant Yaakov is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face, perhaps he will forgive me.

And say moreover, Behold, thy servant Ya῾aqov is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterwards I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.

And you shall say also: Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said: I will remove his anger with the gift that goes before me, and then I will see his face. Perhaps he will be accepting of me.

The present passed on ahead of him, but he spent the night in the camp.

So the present went over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the camp.

And the present passed before him, and he slept that night in the camp.

He got up that night and took his two wives, his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and crossed over the ford of the Yabbok [River].

And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Yabboq.

And he arose that night and took his wives and his two handmaids, and his eleven children [(having secreted Dinah in a chest so that Esau not take her)], and he crossed the ford of Yabbok.

He [then] took them and crossed them over the stream. He [also] brought over all that he possessed.

And he took them, and sent them over the wadi, and sent over that which he had.

And he took them and passed them over the stream, and he passed over what was his, [the beasts and the chattel].

Yaakov remained alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

And Ya῾aqov was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

And Jacob remained alone, [having returned for some small jars], and a man [Esau's guardian angel] wrestled with him until the rising of the morning star.

He [the man] saw that he could not defeat him, and he struck the socket of his hip. Yaakov’s hip joint was dislocated as he wrestled with him.

And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Ya῾aqov’s thigh was put out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

And he saw that he could not prevail over him, and he touched the hollow [the upper bone] of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh tore loose as he wrestled with him.

He [the man] said, Let me go, for the dawn is breaking. He [Yaakov] said, I will not let you go unless you bless me.

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go, unless thou bless me.

And he said: Release me, for the morning star has risen, [and I must intone song (to G d) in the daytime.] And he said: I will not release you until you bless me [i.e., until you acquiesce in my father's blessings to me and cease contesting them.]

He [the man] said to him, What is your name? And he replied, Yaakov.

And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Ya῾aqov.

And he said to him: What is your name? And he said: Jacob.

He [the man] said, No longer will your name be spoken of as Yaakov, but as Yisrael, for you have contended with God[ly beings] and with men, and you have won.

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Ya῾aqov, but Yisra᾽el: for thou hast contended with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

And he said: Your name shall no longer be called Jacob [connoting gaining of the blessings by deception (akvah)], but Yisrael; for you have contended (saritha) with elohim (the angel of Esau) and with men [Esau and Lavan] and you have prevailed.

Yaakov asked him, and said, Please tell me your name. He said, Why then do you ask my name? He then blessed him [Yaakov] there.

And Ya῾aqov asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Why is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

And Jacob asked: "Tell me, I pray you, your name." And he said: "Why do you ask my name?" [(the names of the angels changing according to their deputation)], and he (the angel) blessed him there.

Yaakov named the place Peniel [God’s Face], For I have seen God[ly beings] face to face, and my soul has survived.

And Ya῾aqov called the name of the place Peni᾽el: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel. For I saw elohim face to face (panim el panim), and my soul was spared.

The sun shone for him as he passed by Penuel, and he limped due to his hip.

And as he passed over Penu᾽el the sun rose upon him, and he limped upon his thigh.

And the dawn broke for him when he crossed Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh.

Therefore, the children of Israel must not eat the displaced tendon [nerve] which is on the hip joint to this very day; because he struck Yaakov’s hip joint on the displaced tendon.

Therefore the children of Yisra᾽el eat not of the sinew of the vein, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, to this day: because he touched the hollow of Ya῾aqov’s thigh in the sinew of the vein.

Therefore, the children of Israel do not eat the "slipping tendon" on the hollow of the thigh until this day. For he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the slipping tendon.
