And he said: I
will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him:
what is thy name? He answered: Iacob. And he said: thou shalt be
called Iacob no more, but Israel. For thou hast wrestled with God
and with men and hast prevailed. And Iacob asked him saying, tell
me thy name. And he said, wherefore dost thou ask after my name?
and he blessed him there. And Iacob called the name of the place
Pheniel, for I have seen God face to face, and yet is my life
reserved. And as he went over Peniel, the sun rose upon him, and
he halted upon his thigh: wherefore the children of Israel eat not
of the sinew that shrank under the thigh, unto this day: because
that he smote Iacob under the thigh in the sinew that shrank.
Chapter .xxxiij.
Iacob lift up his eyes and saw his brother Esau come, and with him
four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Lea and unto
Rahel and unto the two maidens. And he put the maidens and their
children foremost, and Lea and her children after, and Rahel and
Ioseph hindermost. And he went before them and fell on the ground
seven times, until he came unto his brother. Esau ran against {to
meet} him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him,
and they wept.
