Transcript
00:01Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau.
00:03Thy servant Jacob saith, I have sojourned with Laban.
00:11We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee,
00:15and four hundred men, four hundred men with him.
00:23I am greatly afraid and distressed.
00:27We must divide into two bands.
00:33Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother,
00:36for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me
00:39and the mother with the children.
00:42Take these to my brother Esau.
00:47Two hundred female goats and twenty males.
00:54Go ahead of me.
00:57Leave a space between each herd and the one behind it.
01:03He ordered the first servant,
01:05When my brother Esau meets you and asks,
01:08Who is your master? Where are you going?
01:10Who owns these animals in front of you?
01:14They belong to your servant Jacob.
01:16He sends them as a present to his master Esau.
01:19Jacob himself is right behind us.
01:24Say this to the second, the third, and all in charge of herds.
01:29This is what you must say to Esau when you meet him.
01:33Jacob sent across all that he owned,
01:36but he stayed behind, alone.
01:39Then a man came and wrestled with him,
01:42wrestling until just before daybreak.
01:58Let me go. Daylight is coming.
02:00I won't, unless you bless me.
02:05What is your name?
02:07Jacob.
02:08Your name will no longer be Jacob.
02:10You have struggled with God and with men,
02:12and you have won, so your name will be Israel.
