21. So the gifts were sent on ahead, while Jacob himself spent that night in the camp.
22. During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two servant wives, and his eleven sons and crossed the Jabbok River with them.
23. After taking them to the other side, he sent over all his possessions.
24. This left Jacob all alone in the camp, and a man came and wrestled with him until the dawn began to break.
25. When the man saw that he would not win the match, he touched Jacob’s hip and wrenched it out of its socket.
