15. thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16. And he gave into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between drove and drove.”
17. And he commanded the first one, saying, “When Ěsaw my brother meets you and asks you, saying, ‘To whom do you belong, and where are you going? And whose are these in front of you?’
18. then you shall say, ‘They are your servant Ya‛aqoḇ’s. It is a present sent to my master Ěsaw. And see, he also is behind us.’ ”
19. So he commanded the second, and the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, “Speak to Ěsaw this same word when you find him,
20. and you shall say, ‘Also look, your servant Ya‛aqoḇ is behind us.’ ” For he said, “Let me appease him with the present that goes before me, and after that see his face. He might accept me.”
21. And the present passed over before him, but he himself spent the night in the camp.
22. And he rose up that night and took his two wives, and his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Yabboq.

24. And Ya‛aqoḇ was left alone. And a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
25. And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of his hip. And the socket of Ya‛aqoḇ’s hip was dislocated as He wrestled with him.
26. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I am not letting You go until You have blessed me!”
27. So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Ya‛aqoḇ.”
28. And He said, “Your name is no longer called Ya‛aqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl, because you have striven with Elohim and with men, and have overcome.”
29. And Ya‛aqoḇ asked Him, saying, “Please let me know Your Name.” And He said, “Why do you ask about My Name?” And He blessed him there.
30. And Ya‛aqoḇ called the name of the place Peni’ĕl, “For I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.”
