32:1 (2) (Maftir) And Ya'akov (יעקב) went on his way, and the angels of Elohim (אלהים) met him.
32:2 (3) And when Ya'akov (יעקב) saw them, he said:
This [is] Elohim (אלהים)'s host: and he called the name of that place Machanayim (two camps).

32:3 (4) (i) Parashah 8 : Vayishlach (He send) 32:4 (5)
And Ya'akov (יעקב) sent messengers before him to Esav his brother unto the eretz Se'ir, the country of Edom (אדם).
32:4 (5) And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my master Esav; Thy servant Ya'akov (יעקב) saith thus, I have sojourned with Lavan, and stayed there until now:
32:5 (6) And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my master, that I may find grace in thy sight.
32:6 (7) And the messengers returned to Ya'akov (יעקב), saying, We came to thy brother Esav, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
32:7 (8) Then Ya'akov (יעקב) was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that [was] with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
32:8 (9) And said, If Esav come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
32:9 (10) And Ya'akov (יעקב) said, O Elohim (אלהים) of my avi Avraham, and Elohim (אלהים) of my avi Yitzchak (יצחק), YHWH (יהוה) which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
32:10 (11) I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Yarden; and now I am become two bands.
32:11 (12) Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esav: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, [and] the mother with the children.
32:12 (13) And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy zera (seed) as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
32:13 (14) (ii)
And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esav his brother;
32:14 (15) Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
32:15 (16) Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
32:16 (17) And he delivered [them] into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
32:17 (18) And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esav my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose [art] thou? and whither goest thou? and whose [are] these before thee?
32:18 (19) Then thou shalt say, [They be] thy servant Ya'akov (יעקב)'s; it [is] a present sent unto my master Esav: and, Hinnei, also he [is] behind us.
32:19 (20) And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esav, when ye find him.
32:20 (21) And say ye moreover, Hinnei, thy servant Ya'akov (יעקב) [is] behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
32:21 (22) So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
32:22 (23) And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Yabbok.
32:23 (24) And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
32:24 (25) And Ya'akov (יעקב) was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
32:25 (26) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Ya'akov (יעקב)'s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
32:26 (27) And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
32:27 (28) And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Ya'akov (יעקב).
32:28 (29) And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Ya'akov (יעקב), but Yisrael: for as a prince hast thou power with Elohim (אלהים) and with men, and hast prevailed.
32:29 (30) And Ya'akov (יעקב) 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.
32:30 (31) (iii)
And Ya'akov (יעקב) called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen Elohim (אלהים) face to face, and my life is preserved.
32:31 (32) And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32:32 (33) Therefore Benai Yisrael eat not [of] the sinew which shrank, which [is] upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Ya'akov (יעקב)'s thigh in the sinew that shrank.
