1 Και απηλθεν ο Ιακωβ εις την οδον αυτου· και συνηντησαν αυτον οι αγγελοι του Θεου.

2 Και οτε ειδεν αυτους ο Ιακωβ ειπε, Στρατοπεδον Θεου ειναι τουτο· και εκαλεσε το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου, Μαχαναιμ.

3 Και απεστειλεν ο Ιακωβ μηνυτας εμπροσθεν αυτου προς Ησαυ τον αδελφον αυτου εις την γην Σηειρ, εις τον τοπον του Εδωμ.

4 Και παρηγγειλεν εις αυτους, λεγων, ουτω θελετε ειπει προς τον κυριον μου τον Ησαυ, Ουτω λεγει ο δουλος σου Ιακωβ, μετα του Λαβαν παρωκησα, και διεμεινα εως του νυν·

5 και απεκτησα βοας και ονους προβατα και δουλους και δουλας· και απεστειλα να αναγγειλω προς τον κυριον μου, δια να ευρω χαριν εμπροσθεν σου.

6 Και επεστρεψαν οι μηνυται προς τον Ιακωβ, λεγοντες, Υπηγαμεν προς τον αδελφον σου τον Ησαυ, και μαλιστα ερχεται εις συναντησιν σου, και τετρακοσιοι ανδρες μετ' αυτου.

7 Εφοβηθη δε ο Ιακωβ σφοδρα και ητο εν αμηχανια· και διηρεσε τον λαον, τον μεθ' αυτου, και τα ποιμνια και τους βοας και τας καμηλους, εις δυο ταγματα·

8 λεγων, Εαν ελθη ο Ησαυ εις το εν ταγμα και παταξη αυτο, το επιλοιπον ταγμα θελει διασωθη.

9 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ, Θεε του πατρος μου Αβρααμ και Θεε του πατρος μου Ισαακ, Κυριε, οστις ειπας προς εμε· Επιστρεψον εις την γην σου και εις την συγγενειαν σου και θελω σε αγαθοποιησει·

10 πολυ μικρος ειμαι ως προς παντα τα ελεη και πασαν την αληθειαν τα οποια εκαμες εις τον δουλον σου· διοτι με την ραβδον μου διεβην τον Ιορδανην τουτον, και τωρα εγεινα δυο ταγματα·

11 σωσον με, δεομαι σου, εκ της χειρος του αδελφου μου, εκ της χειρος του Ησαυ· διοτι φοβουμαι αυτον, μηπως ελθων παταξη εμε και την μητερα επι τα τεκνα·

12 συ δε ειπας, Βεβαια θελω σε αγαθοποιησει, και θελω καταστησει το σπερμα σου ως την αμμον της θαλασσης, ητις εκ του πληθους δεν δυναται να αριθμηθη.

13 Και εκοιμηθη εκει την νυκτα εκεινην· και ελαβεν εκ των οσα ετυχον εν τη χειρι αυτου, δωρον προς Ησαυ τον αδελφον αυτου·

14 αιγας διακοσιας και τραγους εικοσι, προβατα διακοσια και κριους εικοσι,

15 καμηλους θηλαζουσας μετα των τεκνων αυτων τριακοντα, δαμαλια τεσσαρακοντα και ταυρους δεκα, ονους θηλυκας εικοσι και πωλαρια δεκα.

16 Και παρεδωκεν εις τας χειρας των δουλων αυτου, εκαστον ποιμνιον χωριστα· και ειπε προς τους δουλους αυτου, Περασατε εμπροσθεν μου και αφησατε διαστημα μεταξυ ποιμνιου και ποιμνιου.

17 Και εις τον πρωτον παρηγγειλε, λεγων, Οταν σε συναντηση Ησαυ ο αδελφος μου, και σε ερωτηση λεγων, Τινος εισαι; και που υπαγεις; και τινος ειναι ταυτα, τα οποια εχεις εμπροσθεν σου;

18 τοτε θελεις ειπει, Ταυτα ειναι του δουλου σου του Ιακωβ, δωρα στελλομενα προς τον κυριον μου Ησαυ· και ιδου, και αυτος οπισω ημων.

19 ουτω παρηγγειλε και εις τον δευτερον, και εις τον τριτον και εις παντας τους ακολουθουντας οπισω των ποιμνιων, λεγων, κατα τους λογους τουτους θελετε λαλησει προς τον Ησαυ, οταν ευρητε αυτον·

20 και θελετε ειπει, Ιδου, οπισω ημων και αυτος ο δουλος σου Ιακωβ. Διοτι ελεγε, Θελω εξιλεωσει το προσωπον αυτου με το δωρον, το προπορευομενον εμπροσθεν μου· και μετα ταυτα θελω ιδει το προσωπον αυτου· ισως θελει με δεχθη.

21 Το δωρον λοιπον επερασεν εμπροσθεν αυτου· αυτος δε εμεινε την νυκτα εκεινην εν τω στρατοπεδω.

22 Σηκωθεις δε την νυκτα εκεινην, ελαβε τας δυο γυναικας αυτου και τας δυο θεραπαινας αυτου και τα ενδεκα παιδια αυτου και διεβη το περασμα του Ιαβοκ.

23 Και ελαβεν αυτους και διεβιβασεν αυτους τον χειμαρρον· διεβιβασε και τα υπαρχοντα αυτου.

24 Ο δε Ιακωβ εμεινε μονος· και επαλαιε μετ' αυτου ανθρωπος εως τα χαραγματα της αυγης·

25 ιδων δε οτι δεν υπερισχυσε κατ' αυτου, ηγγισε την αρθρωσιν του μηρου αυτου· και μετετοπισθη η αρθρωσις του μηρου του Ιακωβ, ενω επαλαιε μετ' αυτου.

26 Ο δε ειπεν, Αφες με να απελθω, διοτι εχαραξεν η αυγη. Και αυτος ειπε, δεν θελω σε αφησει να απελθης, εαν δεν με ευλογησης.

27 Και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι ειναι το ονομα σου; Ο δε ειπεν, Ιακωβ.

28 Και εκεινος ειπε, Δεν θελει καλεσθη πλεον το ονομα σου Ιακωβ, αλλα Ισραηλ· διοτι ενισχυσας μετα Θεου, και μετα ανθρωπων θελεις εισθαι δυνατος.

29 Ηρωτησε δε ο Ιακωβ λεγων, Φανερωσον μοι, παρακαλω, το ονομα σου. Ο δε ειπε, Δια τι ερωτας το ονομα μου; Και ευλογησεν αυτον εκει.

30 Και εκαλεσεν Ιακωβ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινον Φανουηλ, λεγων, Διοτι ειδον τον Θεον προσωπον προς προσωπον, και εφυλαχθη η ζωη μου.

31 Και ανετειλεν ο ηλιος επ' αυτου, καθως διεβη το Φανουηλ· εχωλαινε δε κατα τον μηρον αυτου.

32 Δια τουτο μεχρι της σημερον δεν τρωγουσιν οι υιοι του Ισραηλ τον ναρκωθεντα μυωνα, οστις ειναι επι της αρθρωσεως του μηρου· διοτι εκεινος ηγγισε την αρθρωσιν του μηρου του Ιακωβ κατα τον μυωνα τον ναρκωθεντα.

4232. Genesis 32

1. And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

2. And Jacob said when he saw them, This is God's camp. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

3. And Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

4. And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall you say to my lord Esau, Thus says your servant Jacob, With Laban I have sojourned, and have stayed until now.

5. And I have oxen and asses, flocks and men servants and women servants; and I am sending to tell my lord, so as to find favour in your eyes.

6. And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother, to Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men with him.

7. And Jacob was exceedingly afraid, and was distressed; and he split up the people who were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two camps.

8. And he said, If Esau comes towards one camp and smites it, the camp that is left will escape.

9. And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Jehovah, who says to me, Return to your land, and to the place of your nativity, and I will deal well with you,

10. I am not worthy of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown to Your servant, for with just my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.

11. Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he comes and smites me, the mother with the children. 1

12. And You have said, I will certainly deal well with you and I will make your seed like the sand of the sea which cannot be counted for multitude.

13. And he spent that night there, and took from what came into his hand a gift for Esau his brother:

14. Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats; two hundred sheep and twenty rams;

15. Thirty milking camels and their colts; forty young cows and ten young bulls; twenty she-asses and ten foals

16. And he gave them into the hand of his servants, drove by drove separately; and he said to his servants, Pass over in front of me and put a space between drove and drove.

17. And he commanded the first, saying, When Esau 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 belong to your servant Jacob; it is a gift sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us.

19. And he commanded the second also, the third also, and all also following the droves, saying, In this manner 2 shall you speak to Esau when you find him.

20. And you shall also say, Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the gift that is going in front of me, and after that I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.

21. And the gift passed over in front of him, and he spent that night in the camp.

22. And he rose up that night, and took his two wives (femina), and his two servant-girls, and his eleven sons, and passed over at the passage of Jabbok.

23. And he took them and made them pass over the river, and made all that he had pass over.

24. And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until dawn came up.

25. And he 3 saw that he did not prevail against him, and he touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him.

26. And he 3 said, Let me go, for the dawn is coming up. And he said, I will not let you go unless you bless me.

27. And he 3 said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

28. And he' said, Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed.

29. And Jacob asked and said, Tell me, I pray, your name. And he said, Why is it that you ask my name? And he blessed him there.

30. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, [saying,] For I have seen God face to face, and my soul is delivered.

31. And the sun rose on him as he passed over Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh.

32. Therefore the children of Israel do not eat the sinew of that which was displaced, which is on the hollow of the thigh, even to this day, because he touched, in the hollow of Jacob's thigh, the sinew of that which was displaced.

CONTENTS

The subject now in the internal sense is a turning round of the state within the Natural, so that good comes to occupy the first place and truth the second. The implanting of truth within good is dealt with in verses 1-23, and the wrestlings involved in the temptations which have to be endured then, in verses 24-32. At the same time the subject is the Jewish nation - how even though it was incapable of receiving anything of the Church, that nation did nevertheless represent things of the Church.

1. literally, mother over children (or sons)

2. literally, According to this word

3. i.e. the man
