Genesis 32 is relevant to an understanding of Reconciliation.

1 Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Genesis 32:1WEB
2 When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim. Genesis 32:2WEB
3 Jacob sent messengers in front of him to Esau, his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom. Genesis 32:3WEB
4 He commanded them, saying, “This is what you shall tell my lord, Esau: ‘This is what your servant, Jacob, says. I have lived as a foreigner with Laban, and stayed until now. Genesis 32:4WEB
5 I have cattle, donkeys, flocks, male servants, and female servants. I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your sight.’” Genesis 32:5WEB
6 The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau. He is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.” Genesis 32:6WEB
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. He divided the people who were with him, along with the flocks, the herds, and the camels, into two companies. Genesis 32:7WEB
8 He said, “If Esau comes to the one company, and strikes it, then the company which is left will escape.” Genesis 32:8WEB
9 Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, YHWH, who said to me, ‘Return to your country, and to your relatives, and I will do you good,’ Genesis 32:9WEB
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the loving kindnesses, and of all the truth, which you have shown to your servant; for with just my staff I crossed over this Jordan; and now I have become two companies. Genesis 32:10WEB
11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me and the mothers with the children. Genesis 32:11WEB
12 You said, ‘I will surely do you good, and make your offspring as the sand of the sea, which can’t be counted because there are so many.’” Genesis 32:12WEB
13 He stayed there that night, and took from that which he had with him a present for Esau, his brother: Genesis 32:13WEB
14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, Genesis 32:14WEB
15 thirty milk camels and their colts, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals. Genesis 32:15WEB
16 He delivered them into the hands of his servants, every herd by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put a space between herd and herd.” Genesis 32:16WEB
17 He commanded the foremost, saying, “When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying, ‘Whose are you? Where are you going? Whose are these before you?’ Genesis 32:17WEB
18 Then you shall say, ‘They are your servant, Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord, Esau. Behold, he also is behind us.’” Genesis 32:18WEB
19 He commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the herds, saying, “This is how you shall speak to Esau, when you find him. Genesis 32:19WEB
20 You shall say, ‘Not only that, but behold, your servant, Jacob, is behind us.’” For, he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.” Genesis 32:20WEB
21 So the present passed over before him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp. Genesis 32:21WEB
22 He rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of the Jabbok. Genesis 32:22WEB
23 He took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had. Genesis 32:23WEB
24 Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day. Genesis 32:24WEB
25 When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled. Genesis 32:25WEB
26 The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.” Genesis 32:26WEB
27 He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”. Genesis 32:27WEB
28 He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.” Genesis 32:28WEB
29 Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there. Genesis 32:29WEB
30 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.” Genesis 32:30WEB
31 The sun rose on him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped because of his thigh. Genesis 32:31WEB
32 Therefore the children of Israel don’t eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because he touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh in the sinew of the hip. Genesis 32:32WEB
