Esau and Jacob meet and Jacob plans to attempt reconciliation with his brother. He hatches a plan to parade his wealth before his brother in an attempt to impress him and distract him from the revenge surely to be planned. In the midst of these preparations, Jacob wrestles with the Angel of the Lord and will not cease until God promises to bless him. In the process, his name is changed to Israel "prince of God."
Jacob and Esau meet and a reconciliation of sorts is effected. Jacob's daughter is defiled by some local men and her brothers (Jacob's sons) take exacting and furious revenge on the men and their families.
