GENESIS 31:2-32:28
Genesis 31:2-32:28 is about Jacob fleeing from Laban, and Jacob wrestling with God:
Jacob flees
Jacob flees from Laban after hearing that Laban's sons claim that Jacob stole everything from their father. Jacob crosses the Euphrates River and heads to the hill country of Gilead.
Laban pursues Jacob
Laban pursues Jacob and camps in the same place. Laban accuses Jacob of deceiving him and stealing his gods. Jacob denies stealing the gods, but admits that he was afraid that Laban would take his daughters away by force.
Jacob wrestles with God
Jacob wrestles with a man until daybreak. The man touches Jacob's hip socket and puts it out of joint. The man tells Jacob that his name will be changed from Jacob to Israel. Jacob names the place Peniel, meaning "I have seen God face to face".
