1 A Jakov otide svojim putem; i sretoše ga anđeli Božiji; 2 a kad ih ugleda Jakov, reče: Ovo je logor Božji. I prozva ono mesto Mahanaim. 3 I Jakov posla pred sobom glasnike k Isavu bratu svom u zemlju Sir, krajinu edomsku. 4 I zapovedi im govoreći: Ovako kažite gospodaru mom Isavu: Sluga tvoj Jakov ovako kaže: Bio sam došljak kod Lavana i bavio se do sad. 5 A imam volova i magaraca, ovaca i sluga, i sluškinja, i poslah da javim tebi gospodaru svom, eda bih našao milost pred tobom. 6 I vratiše se glasnici k Jakovu i rekoše mu: Idosmo do brata tvog Isava, i eto on ti ide na susret s četiri stotine momaka. 7 A Jakov se uplaši jako i zabrinu se; pa razdeli svoje ljude i ovce i goveda i kamile u dve čete. 8 I reče: Ako Isav udari na jednu četu i razbije je, da ako druga uteče. 9 I reče Jakov: Bože oca mog Avrama i Bože oca mog Isaka, Gospode, koji si mi kazao: Vrati se u zemlju svoju i u rod svoj, i ja ću ti biti dobrotvor! 10 Nisam vredan tolike milosti i tolike vere što si učinio sluzi svom; jer samo sa štapom svojim pređoh preko Jordana, a sada sam gospodar od dve čete. 11 Izbavi me iz ruke brata mog, iz ruke Isavove, jer se bojim da ne dođe i ubije mene i mater s decom. 12 A Ti si kazao: Zaista ja ću ti biti dobrotvor, i učiniću seme tvoje da bude kao peska morskog, koji se ne može izbrojati od množine. 13 I zanoći onde onu noć, i uze šta mu dođe do ruke, da pošalje na dar Isavu bratu svom, 14 dvesta koza s dvadeset jaraca, dvesta ovaca s dvadeset ovnova, 15 trideset kamila dojilica s kamiladima, četrdeset krava s desetoro teladi, dvadeset magarica s desetoro magaradi. 16 I predade ih slugama svojim, svako stado napose, i reče slugama: Idite napred preda mnom, ostavljajući dosta mesta između jednog stada i drugog. 17 I zapovedi prvom govoreći: Kad sretneš Isava, brata mog, pa te zapita: Čiji si? I kuda ideš? I čije je to što goniš pred sobom? 18 A ti reci: Sluge tvog Jakova, a ovo šalje na dar gospodaru svom Isavu, a eto i sam ide za nama. 19 Tako zapovedi i drugom i trećem i svima koji iđahu za stadom, i reče: Tako kažite Isavu kad naiđete na nj. 20 I još kažite: Eto, Jakov sluga tvoj ide za nama. Jer govoraše: Ublažiću ga darom koji ide preda mnom, pa ću mu onda videti lice, da ako me lepo primi. 21 Tako otide dar napred, a on prenoći onu noć kod čete svoje. 22 I po noći usta, i uze obe žene i dve robinje i jedanaestoro dece svoje; i prebrodi brod Javok. 23 A pošto njih uze i prevede preko potoka, preturi i ostalo što imaše. 24 A kad osta Jakov sam, tada se jedan čovek rvaše s njim do zore. 25 I kad vide da ga ne može svladati, udari ga po zglavku u stegnu, te se Jakovu iščaši stegno iz zglavka, kad se čovek rvaše s njim. 26 Pa onda reče: Pusti me, zora je. A Jakov mu reče: Neću te pustiti dokle me ne blagosloviš. 27 A čovek mu reče: Kako ti je ime. A on odgovori: Jakov. 28 Tada mu reče: Odsele se nećeš zvati Jakov, nego Izrailj; jer si se junački borio i s Bogom i s ljudima, i odoleo si. 29 A Jakov zapita i reče: Kaži mi kako je tebi ime. A On reče: Što pitaš kako mi je ime? I blagoslovi ga onde. 30 I Jakov nadede ime onom mestu Fanuil; jer, veli, Boga videh licem k licu, i duša se moja izbavi. 31 I sunce mu se rodi kad prođe Fanuil, i hramaše na stegno svoje. 32 Zato sinovi Izrailjevi ne jedu krajeve od mišića na zglavku u stegnu do današnjeg dana, što se Jakovu povrediše krajevi od mišića na zglavku u stegnu.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… eternal, and of right belongs eternally to Jerusalem the free mother, where the genuine people of Israel shall be: for this name is interpreted "Seeing God;" in the desire of which reward a pious life is to be led through faith in this miserable pilgrimage.

And said to Him, "I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me." When the conqueror was blessed by the Conquered, Christ was figured.

But this Jacob, when he received another name, heard the same words, "Thou shalt not be called Jacob, but Israel shalt thou be called." Search the Scriptures, and see how that he was always called both, both Jacob and Israel.
