Genesis 32:23 In-Context

21 So the present crossed over ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
22 He got up that night, took his two wives, his two slave-girls, and his eleven children, and forded the Yabok.
23 He took them and sent them across the stream, then sent his possessions across;
24 and Ya'akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak.
25 When he saw that he did not defeat Ya'akov, he struck Ya'akov's hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him.
