- Genesis 32:31
וַיִּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב שֵׁם הַמָּקוֹם פְּנִיאֵל כִּי־רָאִיתִי אֱלֹהִים פָּנִים אֶל־פָּנִים וַתִּנָּצֵל נַפְשִׁי׃
So Jacob named the place Peniel, meaning, “I have seen a divine being face to face, yet my life has been preserved.”
Targum Onkelos
וּקְרָא יַעֲקֹב שְׁמָא דְּאַתְרָא פְּנִיאֵל אֲרֵי חֲזֵיתִי מַלְאֲכָא דַּייָ אַפִּין בְּאַפִּין וְאִשְׁתֵּיזַבַת נַפְשִׁי׃
Yaakov named the place Peniel [God’s Face], For I have seen God[ly beings] [Angles of God] face to face, and my soul has survived.
- Genesis 32:32
וַיִּזְרַח־לוֹ הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ כַּאֲשֶׁר עָבַר אֶת־פְּנוּאֵל וְהוּא צֹלֵעַ עַל־יְרֵכוֹ׃
The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping on his hip.
Targum Onkelos
וּדְנַח לֵיהּ שִׁמְשָׁא כַּד עֲבַר יָת פְּנוּאֵל וְהוּא מַטְלַע עַל יִרְכֵּיהּ׃
The sun shone for him as he passed by Penuel, and he limped due to his hip.
- Genesis 32:33
עַל־כֵּן לֹא־יֹאכְלוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־גִּיד הַנָּשֶׁה אֲשֶׁר עַל־כַּף הַיָּרֵךְ עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה כִּי נָגַע בְּכַף־יֶרֶךְ יַעֲקֹב בְּגִיד הַנָּשֶׁה׃
That is why the children of Israel to this day do not eat the thigh muscle that is on the socket of the hip, since Jacob’s hip socket was wrenched at the thigh muscle.
Targum Onkelos
עַל כֵּן לָא אָכְלִין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יָת גִּידָא נַשְׁיָא דְּעַל פְּתֵי יִרְכָּא עַד יוֹמָא הָדֵין אֲרֵי קְרֵיב בִּפְתֵי יִרְכָּא דְּיַעֲקֹב בְּגִידָא נַשְׁיָא׃
Therefore, the children of Israel must not eat the displaced tendon [nerve] which is on the [girth of the] hip joint to this very day; because he struck [the girth of] Yaakov’s hip joint on the displaced tendon.
- Genesis 33:1
וַיִּשָּׂא יַעֲקֹב עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא וְהִנֵּה עֵשָׂו בָּא וְעִמּוֹ אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת אִישׁ וַיַּחַץ אֶת־הַיְלָדִים עַל־לֵאָה וְעַל־רָחֵל וְעַל שְׁתֵּי הַשְּׁפָחוֹת׃

putting the maids and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last.
Targum Onkelos
וְשַׁוִּי יָת לְחֵינָתָא וְיָת בְּנֵיהוֹן קַדְמוּתָא וְיָת לֵאָה וּבְנַהָא בָּתְרָאִין וְיָת רָחֵל וְיָת יוֹסֵף בָּתְרָאִין׃

He went ahead of them, and he prostrated himself to the earth seven times, until he approached his brother.
- Genesis 33:4
וַיָּרׇץ עֵשָׂו לִקְרָאתוֹ וַיְחַבְּקֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל עַל־צַוָּארָו וַׄיִּׄשָּׁׄקֵׄהׄוּׄ וַיִּבְכּוּ׃
