20And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
21So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
22And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
23He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
24Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
25But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
26And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
