Genesis 32:30-33:5

New International Version

³⁰ So Jacob called the place Peniel,^[a] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,^(A) and yet my life was spared.”

³¹ The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,^[b](B) and he was limping because of his hip. ³² Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip,^(C) because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.

Jacob Meets Esau

33 Jacob looked up and there was Esau, coming with his four hundred men;^(D) so he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two female servants.^{(E) 2} He put the female servants and their children^(F) in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph^(G) in the rear. ³ He himself went on ahead and bowed down to the ground^(H) seven times^(I) as he approached his brother.

⁴ But Esau^(J) ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him.^(K) And they wept.^{(L) 5} Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. “Who are these with you?” he asked.

Jacob answered, “They are the children God has graciously given your servant.^(M)”
