וַאֲמַר יַעֲקב כַּד חָמָא יַתְהוֹן דִילְמָא מַשִׁירְיָין מִן לָבָן אָחוֹי דְאִמָא אִינוּן אַתְיָין קֳדָמוֹי לִמְסַדְרָא לְקִבְלֵי סִידְרֵי קְרָבָא לְמִקְטַל יָתִי אוֹ דִלְמָא מַשִׁירְיַין דְמַלְאָכִין קַדִישִׁין מִן קֳדָם יְיָ אִינוּן וְאַתְיָין לְשֵׁיזְבָא יָתִי מִן יְדֵיהוֹן בְּגִין כְּדֵין קְרָא שְׁמֵיהּ דְאַתְרָא הַהוּא מַחֲנָיִם:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And Jakob, when he beheld them, said, Perhaps they are a host from Laban, the brother of my mother, coming to set against me the array of battle to slay me; or (rather) they are a host of the holy angels from before the Lord, who are come to save me from their hands. And he called the name of that place Machanaim.

וְאַרְבַּע מֵאָה גוּבְרִין פּוּלְמַרְכִין עִמֵיהּ:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And four hundred men, warlike leaders with him.

וַולְדִי דַקִין עַשְרָא:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

Arid small colts ten.

וְקַהַת כַּף יַרְכֵיהּ דְיַעֲקב בְּשַׁדְרוּתֵיהּ עִמֵיהּ:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And the hollow of Jakob's thigh was displaced in contending with him.

וַאֲמַר שְׁלַח יָתִי אֲרוּם סַלִיק עַמוּד שַׁחְרָא וְהָא מָטָא שַׁעַתְהוֹן דְמַלְאָכַיָא לְמִשְׁבְּחָא וַאֲמַר לָא אֲשַׁלֵחַ יָתָךְ אֶלָא הֵן בָּרִיכַת יָתִי:

Targum Jerusalem, trans. J. W. Etheridge, London, 1862

And he said, Send me away, for the column of the dawn ariseth, and, behold, the hour cometh for the angels to praise. And he said, I will not release thee until thou bless me.
