Then
Jacob was
left alone, and a
man wrestled with him
until daybreak.

When he
saw that he had not
prevailed against him, he
touched the
socket of his
thigh; so the
socket of
Jacob's thigh was
dislocated while he
wrestled with him.

Then he
said,
"Let me
go, for the
dawn is
breaking." But he
said, "I will not
let you
go unless * you
bless me."

So he
said to him,
"What is your
name?" And he
said,
"Jacob."

He
said, "Your
name shall
no longer be
Jacob, but
Israel; for you have
striven with
God and with
men and have
prevailed."

Then
Jacob asked him and
said,
"Please tell me your
name." But he
said,
"Why is it that you
ask my
name?" And he
blessed him
there.

So
Jacob named * the
place Peniel, for he said, "I have
seen God face to
face, yet my
life has been
preserved."

Now the
sun rose upon him
just as he
crossed over Penuel, and he was
limping on his
thigh.

Therefore *, to
this day the
sons of
Israel do not
eat the
sinew of the
hip which is on the
socket of the
thigh,
because he
touched the
socket of
Jacob's thigh in the
sinew of the
hip.
