He prayed, acknowledging that he was unworthy of Jehovah’s generosity and appealing to God on the basis of His promises that he and his family be delivered from Esau’s hand. ​ — Genesis 32: 2 - 12.
Jēkabs teica lūgšanu, kurā atzina, ka nav Jehovas žēlsirdības cienīgs, un lūdza pasargāt viņu un viņa ģimeni no Ēzava rokas, kā Jehova to bija solījis. ( 1. Mozus 32: 3 — 13.)
