Genesis 32
32:2
And when Jacob saw them, he said,
a This
[is] God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
(
a) He acknowledges God's benefits: who for the
preservation of his, sends hosts of angels.
32:4 And he commanded them,
saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my
b
lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed
there until now:
(
b) He reverenced his brother in worldly things,
because he mainly looked to be preferred to the spiritual promise.
32:7 Then
Jacob was
c greatly afraid and
distressed: and he divided the people that [was] with him, and the flocks, and
herds, and the camels, into two bands;
(
c) Though he was comforted by the angels, yet
the infirmity of the flesh appears.
32:10 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
d
staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
(
d) that is, poor and without all provision.
32:11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my
brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me,
[and] the
e mother with the children.
(
e) Meaning, he will put all to death. This
proverb comes from those who kill the bird together with the young ones.
32:13 And he lodged there
that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a
f
present for Esau his brother;
(
f) Not distrusting God's assistance, but using
such means as God had given him.
32:20
And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob [is] behind us. For he said, I
g
will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see
his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
(
g) He thought it no less to depart with these
goods with the intent that he might follow the vocation to which God called
him.
32:24
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a
h
man with him until the breaking of the day.
(
h) That is, God in the form of a man.
32:25 And when he saw that he
i
prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of
Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
(
i) For God assails his with the one hand, and
upholds them with the other.
32:28
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince
hast thou
k power with God and with men,
and hast prevailed.
(
k) God gave Jacob both power to overcome, and
also the praise of the victory.
32:31
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he
l
halted upon his thigh.
(
l) The faithful to overcome their temptations,
so that they feel the pain of it, so they would not boast, except in their
humility.
