• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: Where are you going?
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: Whose servant are you?
• 3:15

  SPEAKER_00: You will say, This is a gift to you, and your servant Jacob is behind us.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Jacob thought, If I send these men ahead with gifts, maybe Esau will forgive and accept me.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: So Jacob sent the gifts to Esau, but he stayed that night in the camp.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: During the night Jacob got up and began moving his two wives and his two maids and his eleven sons across the Jabak river at the crossing.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: He sent his family across the river.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: He sent across everything he had.

  SPEAKER_00: The man fought with him until the sun came up.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: When the man saw that he could not defeat Jacob, he touched Jacob's leg and put it out of joint.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Then the man said to Jacob, Let me go, the sun is coming up.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: But Jacob said, I will not let you go.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: You must bless me.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: And the man said to him, What is your name?
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: And Jacob said, My name is Jacob.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: Then the man said, Your name will not be Jacob, your name will now be Israel.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: I give you this name because you have fought with God and with men and you have won.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_00: Then Jacob asked him, Please tell me your name, but the man said, Why do you ask my name?
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Then the man blessed Jacob at that place.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: So Jacob named that place Peniel.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: He said At this place I saw God face to face, but my life was spared.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: Then the sun came up as Jacob left Peniel.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: He was limping because of his leg.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_00: So even today the people of Israel don't eat the muscle that is on the hip joint because this is the muscle where Jacob was hurt.
