Bible in Basic English
"And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok."
— Genesis 32:22, Bible in Basic English
And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;
And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.
So the servants with the offerings went on in front, and he himself took his rest that night in the tents with his people.
And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.
He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had.
Then Jacob was by himself; and a man was fighting with him till dawn.
But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.
