18then you are to say, 'They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift, sent to my lord Esau. And behold, Jacob is behind us.'"
“Then thou shalt say they be thy servant Jacob's. It is a present sent unto my Lord Esau and behold also he is behind us.”

19He also instructed the second, the third, and all those following behind the herds: "When you meet Esau, you are to say the same thing to him.
“Then he commanded also the second and the third, and all those who followed the droves, saying, After this manna you shall speak to Esau when you find him.”
“So he commanded the second, the third and all who followed in the drove, saying in this manner, you shall speak to Esau when you find him”

20You are also to say, 'Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.'" For he thought, "I will appease Esau with the gift that is going before me. After that I can face him, and perhaps he will accept me."
“And you shall say, Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me. Then afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”
“And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face, and peradventure he will accept of”
“and also say, behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me. And afterward, I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”

“And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he saith, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me. And afterward I will see his face per adventure he will accept of me.”
21So Jacob's gifts went on before him, while he spent the night in the camp.
“So went the present over before him and himself lodged that night in the company.”
“So went the present over before him, and himself lodged that night in the company.”
“So the present passed on before him while he himself spent that night in the camp.”
“So went the present over before him, and himself lodged that night in the company.”
“So went the present over before him, and himself lodged that night in the company.”
“So went the present over before him, and himself lodged that night in the company.”
22During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
“Now he arose that same night and took his two wives and his two maids and his eleven children and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.”

“And he rose up that night and took his two wives and his two women servants and his eleven sons and passed over the ford Jabbok.”
“And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.”
23He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.
“he took them and sent them across the stream. And he sent across whatever he had.”
“and he took them and sent them over the brook and sent over that he had.”
“And he took them and sent them over the brook and sent over that he had.”
“And he took them and sent them over the brook and sent over that he had.”
“And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.".”
“And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.”
24So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
“and Jacob was left alone and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”
“And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”
“And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”

“And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”
“And Jacob was left alone, and there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day.”
25When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob's hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.
“Now, when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the socket of his hip, and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of jointed as he wrestled with him.”
“And when he saw that he prevailed not against him he touched the hollow of his thigh and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him.”
“And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh. And the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him.”
“And when he saw that he prevailed, not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him.”
“and when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh. And the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him.”
“and When he saw that he prevailed not against him he touched the hollow of his thigh and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint as he wrestled with him”
26Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."
“And he said let me go for the day breaketh. And he said I will not let thee go except thou bless me.”
“And he said, let me go for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.”
“And he said, let me go for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.”
“And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.”
“then he said let me go for the dawn is breaking, but he said I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
“and he said let me go for the day breaketh. And he said I will not let thee go except thou bless me.”
27"What is your name?" the man asked. "Jacob," he replied.
“And he said unto him what is thy name. And he said Jacob.”
“And he said unto him, what is thy name? And he said, Jacob.”
“And he said unto him, what is thy name? And he said, Jacob.”
“And he said unto him, what is thy name? And he said, Jacob.”
“And he said unto him what is thy name. And he said Jacob”
“so he said to him, what is your name? He said, Jacob.”
28Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men, and you have prevailed."
“And he said, "'Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel, "'for as a prince hast thou power with God "'and with men and hast prevailed.'".”
“And he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob but Israel. For as a prince hast thou power with God and with men and hast prevailed.”
“And he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel. For as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.”

“he said, Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed.”
29And Jacob requested, "Please tell me your name." But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed Jacob there.
“And Jacob asked him and said tell me I pray thee thy name. And he said wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name. And he blessed him there.”
“And Jacob asked him and said, tell me, I pray thee thy name. And he said, wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.”
“And Jacob asked him and said, Tell me, I pray thee thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.”

“Then Jacob asked him and said, Please tell me your name. But he said, Why is it that you ask my name? And he blessed him there.”
30So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, "Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared."
“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel for I have seen God face to face and my life is preserved.”
“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel. For I have seen God face to face and my life is preserved.”

31The sun rose above him as he passed by Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
“And as he passed over Penuel, the sun rose upon him and he halted upon his thigh.”
“The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.”

“And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him and he halted upon his thigh.”
“Just as he crossed over Penuel, the sun rose on him and he limped on his hip.”
32Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon which is at the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob's hip was struck near that tendon.
“Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank which is upon the hollow of the thigh unto this day because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank”
“Therefore to this day the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the socket of the thigh, because he touched the socket of Jacob's thigh in the sinew of the hip.”

“Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank which is upon the hollow of his thigh unto this day because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank”
