20. Make sure you say, 'Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.' " Jacob was thinking, "I'll make peace with him with these gifts I'm sending on ahead. When I see him later, maybe he'll welcome me."
21. So Jacob's gifts went on ahead of him. But he himself spent the night in the camp.
22. That night Jacob got up. He took his two wives, his two female servants and his 11 sons and sent them across the Jabbok River.
23. After they had crossed the stream, he sent over everything he owned.
24. So Jacob was left alone. A man struggled with him until morning.
25. The man saw that he couldn't win. So he touched the inside of Jacob's hip. As Jacob struggled with the man, Jacob's hip was twisted.
26. Then the man said, "Let me go. It is morning." But Jacob replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
