Their ancestor Jacob held on to his brother’s heel
    while the two of them were being born.
When Jacob grew to be a man,
    he wrestled with God.
He wrestled with the angel and won.
    Jacob cried and asked for his blessing.
Later, God met with him at Bethel
    and spoke with him there.
He is the Lord God of heaven’s armies.
    He wants to be remembered as the Lord.
Like Jacob you must return to him.
    You must be loyal and true to him.
You must do what is honest and just.
    You must always trust in him as your God.
