Genesis 32:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ Make sure you say, ‘Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’ ” Jacob was thinking, “I’ll make peace with him with these gifts I’m sending on ahead. When I see him later, maybe he’ll welcome me.” ²¹ So Jacob’s gifts went on ahead of him. But he himself spent the night in the camp.

Jacob Wrestles With God

²² That night Jacob got up. He took his two wives, his two female servants and his 11 sons and sent them across the Jabbok River.
