Genesis 32:20-22

International Children’s Bible

²⁰ Say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’” Jacob thought, “If I send this gift ahead of me, maybe Esau will forgive me. Then when I see him, perhaps he will accept me.” ²¹ So Jacob sent the gift to Esau. But Jacob stayed that night in the camp.

Jacob Wrestles with God

²² During the night Jacob rose and crossed the Jabbok River at the crossing. He took his 2 wives, his 2 slave girls and his 11 sons with him.
