And Jacobsaid, O God of my fatherAbraham, and God of my fatherIsaac, the LORDwhichsaidstunto me, Returnunto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I willdealwellwiththee:
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, whichthouhastshewedunto thy servant; for with my staff I passedoverthisJordan; and now I am become two bands.
Deliver me, I praythee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he willcome and smite me, and the motherwith the children.
And he deliveredtheminto the hand of his servants, everydrove by themselves; and saidunto his servants, Passoverbefore me, and put a spacebetwixtdrove and drove.
And he commanded the foremost, saying, WhenEsau my brothermeeteththee, and askeththee, saying, Whose art thou? and whithergoestthou? and whose are thesebeforethee?
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servantJacob is behind us. For he said, I willappease him with the presentthatgoethbefore me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he willaccept of me.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’sthigh was out of joint, as he wrestledwith him.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinewwhichshrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, untothis day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob’sthigh in the sinewthatshrank.
