Jake wrestles stranger
Esau’s guardian angel?
Was it a man? G-d?

Or could it have been
Jacob’s own inner conflict
About his brother?

Jacob thinks it’s G-d
He names the place Peniel
Which means “Divine Face”

Who comes with four hundred men
Ready for battle?

JacobAndEsauEmbrace

That’s not Esau’s plan
The reunion is peaceful
As brothers embrace
