Genesis Chapter 32

¹And Heel has walked to his road, and messengers of elohim are meeting in him. ²And Heel is saying, when he has seen them, `The encampment of elohim is this one.` And he is calling-out the name of the Standing place of Himself `Double Camps.`^*

³And Heel is sending forth messengers to his faces toward Prepared his brother, earth-ward of Hairy,^* a field of Red. ⁴And he is commanding אֶת-them, to say, `Thus you are saying to my master, to Prepared: Thus has said your slave Heel, With White I have offroaded, and I am remaining-behind^* until now.

⁵And he is becoming to-myself an ox, and an fermenting-one, a sheep, and a man-slave, and a slavewoman, and I am sending her forth^* to front to my master, to find a favored-one in your eyes.`

⁶And the Messengers are turning back toward Heel, to say, `We have come in toward your brother, toward Prepared, and also he-who-walks to meet you, and four hundred of a man are with him.` ⁷And Heel is fearing exceedingly, and he is narrow to himself,^* and he is dividing אֶת-the People who is את-him, and אֶת-the Sheep, and אֶת-the Ploughing-one, and the Camels, to double camps.

⁸And he is saying, `If Prepared is coming in toward the Encampment of the One and he has smitten him, then he has become the Camp of the Remaining One^* to an escape.`

⁹And Heel is saying, `Elohe of my father Father-of-Tumult, and elohe of my father He-Laughs, Yahweh the One-who-speaks^* toward me, Turn back to your earth, and to your birth, and I may create-good with you.

¹⁰I have become small from the whole of the Kind-ones [Chasadim], and from the whole of the True-one which you have made אֶת-your slave—for, in my shoot I have crossed over אֶת-the Descender of This one, and now I have become to two camps. ¹¹`Snatch me, now, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Prepared: for afraid is myself אֶת-him, lest he is coming in and has smitten me—a mother upon builders. ¹²And yourself has said, Causing good I am creating-good with you, and have put your seed as the turning-one of the Sea, which is not recorded from abundance.`

¹³And he is lodging there in the Night-ward of Himself, and he is taking from the One-who-comes-in^* in his hand, a gift for Prepared his brother: ¹⁴she-goats a double-hundred, and he-goats twenty, ewes a double-hundred, and rams twenty, ¹⁵suckling camels and their builders thirty, cows forty, and bulls ten, everflowing-onees twenty, and awake-ones^* ten. ¹⁶And he is giving in a hand of his slaves, a sheep of a sheep^* to his separation, and is saying toward his slaves, `Cross over to my faces, and an interval you are putting between a sheep and between a sheep.`

¹⁷And he is commanding אֶת-the First one, to say, `For Prepared my brother is meeting you, and he has asked you, saying, To-who is yourself? And whither are you walking? And to-who are these ones to your faces? ¹⁸And you have said: to your slave, to Heel, a gift is himself, one-who-is-sent to my master, to Prepared; and behold, also himself is the back of us.`

¹⁹And he is commanding also אֶת-the Double, also אֶת-the Third-one, also אֶת-the whole of Those-following the back of the sheeps, to say, `According to the Word of This one you are ordering toward Prepared, in your finding אֶת-him, ²⁰and you have said also, Behold, your slave Heel is the back of us;` for he has said, `I may cover^* his faces in the Gift^* of the Walking one^* to my faces, and the back of an upright I am seeing his faces— perhaps he is lifting up my faces.`

²¹And the Gift is crossing over upon his faces, and himself has lodged in the Night-ward of Himself in the encampment. ²²And he is standing up in the Night-ward of himself, and he is taking אֶת-the pair of his women, and אֶת-the pair of his slavewomen, and אֶת-one ten of his born-ones and is crossing over אֶת-the crossing-place of He-Dusts [Yabbaq].^*

²³And he is taking them and is causing them to cross over the Torrent-Valley, and he is causing to cross over אֶת-which is to-himself.

²⁴And Heel is remaining over to his separation, and a man is dusting [yabbeq]^* with him until the ascending of the Daybreak.^*

²⁵And he is seeing that he had not been able to-himself, and he is touching the palm^* of his thigh, and the palm of the thigh of Heel is severed in his dusting [yabbeq] with him.

²⁶And he is saying, `Send me forth, for the Daybreak has ascended.` And he is saying, `I am not sending you forth, for if you have blessed me.`

²⁷And he is saying toward him, `What is your name?`

²⁸And he is saying, `Not Heel he is being said again your name, for if El-Strives^* then you have striven with elohim and with mortal-men, and you are able.`

²⁹And Heel is asking, and is saying, `Expose,^* now, your name.`

³⁰And Heel is calling-out the name of the Standing-place Face of El^* for I have seen elohim, faces toward faces, and my breath has been snatched away.^*

³¹And the sun is rising to-himself when he has crossed over אֶת-Face of El, and himself is he-who-bending-to-the-side^* over his thigh.

³²Upon an upright the builders of El-Strives are not eating אֶת-the thread^* of the Nerve,^* which is over the palm of the thigh, until the Hot-one of This one, for he has touched in the palm of the thigh of Heel, in the thread of the Nerve.
