Genesis 32:23 In-Context

21 So Jacob sent the gifts to Esau, but he himself stayed that night in the camp.

22 During the night Jacob rose and crossed the Jabbok River at the crossing, taking with him his two wives, his two slave girls, and his eleven sons.

23 He sent his family and everything he had across the river.

24 So Jacob was alone, and a man came and wrestled with him until the sun came up.

25 When the man saw he could not defeat Jacob, he struck Jacob's hip and put it out of joint.
