Génesis 32:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 32:22

And he rose up that night
In the middle of it, for it was long before break of day, as appears from ( Genesis 32:24 ) ; and took his two wives,
Rachel and Leah, and his two womenservants,
Bilhah and Zilpah, or, "his two concubines", as the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan; which distinguishes them from other womenservants or maidservants, of which, no doubt, he had many: and his eleven sons;
together with Dinah his daughter, though not mentioned, being the only female child, and a little one: and passed over the ford Jabbok;
over that river, at a place of it where it was fordable, or where there was a ford or passage: this was a river that took its rise from the mountains of Arabia, was the border of the Ammonites, washed the city Rabba, and ran between Philadelphia and Gerasa, and came into the river Jordan, at some little distance from the sea of Gennesaret or Galilee F4, about three or four miles from it.

Génesis 32:22 In-Context

20 Y dir茅is tambi茅n: He aqu铆 tu siervo Jacob viene tras nosotros. Porque dijo: Apaciguar茅 su ira con el presente que va delante de m铆, y despu茅s ver茅 su rostro; por ventura le ser茅 acepto.
21 Y pas贸 el presente delante de 茅l; y 茅l durmi贸 aquella noche en el real.
22 Y se levant贸 aquella noche, y tom贸 sus dos mujeres, y sus dos siervas, y sus once hijos, y pas贸 el vado de Jaboc.
23 Los tom贸, pues , y los pas贸 el arroyo, y pas贸 lo que ten铆a.
24 Y se qued贸 Jacob solo, y luch贸 con 茅l un var贸n, hasta que el alba sub铆a.
