Bereshis 32:19-25 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

19. (20) And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the adarim (herds), saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esav, when ye find him.

20. (21) And say ye moreover, Hinei, thy eved Ya'akov is behind us. For he said, Akhapperah (I will appease, pacify) his face with the minchah that goeth ahead of me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.

21. (22) So went the minchah (present) over ahead of him; but he himself stayed balailah in the machaneh.

22. (23) And he rose up that night, and took his two nashim and his two shifchot, and his eleven yeladim, and passed over the ma'avar (ford) Yabbok.

23. (24) And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over [all] that he had.

24. (25) And Ya'akov was left by himself; and there wrestled an ish with him until the shachar (dawn, sunup).

25. (26) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he struck his hip socket; so Ya'akov's hip socket dislocated while he wrestled with him.
