Genesis 32:23 In-Context

21 So Jacob sent the gift ahead of him, but he spent that night in the camp.

22 Jacob got up during the night, took his two wives, his two women servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the Jabbok River's shallow water.

23 He took them and everything that belonged to him, and he helped them cross the river.

24 But Jacob stayed apart by himself, and a man wrestled with him until dawn broke.

25 When the man saw that he couldn't defeat Jacob, he grabbed Jacob's thigh and tore a muscle in Jacob's thigh as he wrestled with him.
