1 And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.
1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
4 And he gave them orders to say these words to Esau: Your servant Jacob says, Till now I have been living with Laban:
4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now.
5 And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’”
6 When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies.
8 And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.”
9 Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Yahweh, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’
10 I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies.
11 Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children.
12 And you said, Truly, I will be good to you, and make your seed like the sand of the sea which may not be numbered.
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’”
13 Then he put up his tent there for the night; and from among his goods he took, as an offering for his brother Esau,
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother:
14 Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
15 Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.
16 These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.
16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.”
17 And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?
17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’
18 Then say to him, These are your servant Jacob's; they are an offering for my lord, for Esau; and he himself is coming after us.
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’”
19 And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him.
20 And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but 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.”
21 So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok.
23 He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
24 Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
25 But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
26 And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
27 Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
28 And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh.
32 For this reason the children of Israel, even today, never take that muscle in the hollow of the leg as food, because the hollow of Jacob's leg was touched.
32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip.

… 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.

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.
