[Verse 1] Angels met him on the road, two camps before the news arrived. Esau comes with four hundred. Jacob divided all he owned, then prayed from the promise: "I am not worthy of the least of all thy mercies. Deliver me." Drove after drove went ahead. At Jabbok everyone crossed. Jacob stayed alone. [Call and Response] "What is thy name?" "Jacob." "What is thy name?" "Jacob." The old answer could not carry the dawn. A man wrestled him until daybreak. One touch put the hollow of his thigh out of joint. "Let me go." "I will not let thee go, except thou bless me." Not Jacob. Israel. Peniel. The sun rose on a wounded step. [Verse 2] Seven bows into the dust. Four hundred men came near. Esau ran, not with a sword, but with his arms. He fell on his brother's neck. He kissed him. Both men wept. [Verse 3] Peace at a brother's face did not make the household clean. Shechem defiled Dinah. Simeon and Levi answered deceit with slaughter. Jacob named the danger. Then God said, "Arise, go up to Bethel." Foreign gods went under the oak. An altar rose where the covenant had begun. There God spoke the name again: Israel. Rachel died giving Benjamin breath. Reuben violated his father's bed. Isaac's days closed. Esau and Jacob buried him. Grief entered every room, but the promise did not leave the house. [Final] "What is thy name?" "Israel." "How do you walk?" "Limping." "Where are you going?" "Forward." He had seen God face to face and lived. He had seen his brother's face and lived. No longer Jacob. Still wounded. Still walking.
