And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,

and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.

and he taketh them, and causeth them to pass over the brook, and he causeth that which he hath to pass over.

And having delivered over all the things that belonged to him,

Et accepit eos, et transire fecit eos torrentem, transire, inquam, fecit omnia quae erant sibi.

And he took them, and sent them over the brook,.... His wives and children, under the care of some of his servants:
and sent over that he had: all that belonged to him, his servants and his cattle or goods.

Jabbok is the present Wady es Zerka (i.e., the blue), which flows from the east towards the Jordan, and with its deep rocky valley formed at that time the boundary between the kingdoms of Sihon at Heshbon and Og of Bashan. It now separates the countries of Moerad or Ajlun and Belka. The ford by which Jacob crossed was hardly the one which he took on his outward journey, upon the Syrian caravan-road by Kalaat-Zerka, but one much farther to the west, between Jebel Ajlun and Jebel Jelaad, through which Buckingham, Burckhardt, and Seetzen passed; and where there are still traces of walls and buildings to be seen, and other marks of cultivation.
