New Century Version NCV
New International Version NIV
22 During the night Jacob rose and crossed the Jabbok River at the crossing, taking with him his two wives, his two slave girls, and his eleven sons.
22
That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
23 He sent his family and everything he had across the river.
23
After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.
24 So Jacob was alone, and a man came and wrestled with him until the sun came up.
24
So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
25 When the man saw he could not defeat Jacob, he struck Jacob's hip and put it out of joint.
25
When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.
26 Then he said to Jacob, "Let me go. The sun is coming up." But Jacob said, "I will let you go if you will bless me."
26
Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man said to him, "What is your name?" And he answered, "Jacob."
27
The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob. Your name will now be Israel, because you have wrestled with God and with people, and you have won."
28
Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But the man said, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed Jacob there.
29
Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 So Jacob named that place Peniel, saying, "I have seen God face to face, but my life was saved."
30
So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 Then the sun rose as he was leaving that place, and Jacob was limping because of his leg.
31
The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32 So even today the people of Israel do not eat the muscle that is on the hip joint of animals, because Jacob was touched there.
32
Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
