다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Telling a story, if it is done truthfully, is a profound way of transmitting a truthful life of a generation to the next. In this regards, biblical writers are among others most respectful story tellers in its own right. They do their jobs with a great degree of delicate artistry and profound theological intents. Biblical narrative is a window through which God's dealings with his creation, especially his people are unfolded. It is also a mirror which reflects all the divine and human in their complicated mixture. Students of the Scripture are encouraged to explore into this thought-making terrain.
Biblical narratives are intended to be retold and reheard by the community of faith. Through the process of retelling the stories, every generation passes its success and failure in relation to God to the next generation. Having this in mind, this article explores the artistry and theological intents of one of most beloved episodes in Jacob's narrative found in Genesis 32 and 33, that is, Jacob's encounters with his brother Esau and a stranger in the midnight at the ford of the Jabbok River. As this article shows, two episodes are skillfully interwoven to the point that each reenforces the other's structure and meaning. The story of Jacob's meeting with a stranger in the midnight is framed by a story of his meeting with Esau. This framing technique by the narrator highlights the central importance of the story of Jacob's meeting with God in order to understand the meaning of Jacob's meeting with Esau.
