Genesis 32

Genesis 32

As Jacob approaches the Promised Land, he hears that Esau is coming to meet him with 400 men, terrifying Jacob, who fears revenge. Jacob desperately divides his family and flocks into two camps and prays fervently to God for deliverance, reminding God of His promises. That night, Jacob sends large, numerous gifts ahead to appease Esau. Jacob is left alone and wrestles with a mysterious man (God or an angel) until dawn. Jacob refuses to let go until he receives a blessing, and the man changes Jacob’s name to Israel (""struggles with God""). Jacob is left with a permanent limp.
