Genesis 32:22
βAnd he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 32Meaning
Jacob moves his immediate household across the Jabbok during the night, narrowing the scene toward his coming solitude.
Read carefully
The family movement is first a concrete geographical action; symbolic readings should not erase the actual crossing described by the text.
Reflection
The chapter shifts from managing a large company to a scene in which Jacob will have no household or possessions beside him.
