MEDITATION

Genesis 32:22-25

22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.
24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.

《创世记 32：22-25》
22 他夜间起来，带着两个妻子、两个使女并十一个儿子，都过了雅博渡口。
23 先打发他们过河，又打发所有的都过去，
24 只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤，直到黎明。

25 那人见自己胜不过他，就将他的大腿窝摸了一把，雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。
