The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
New International Version NIV
22 He got up that night, took his two wives, his two slave-girls, and his eleven children, and forded the Yabok.
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 took them and sent them across the stream, then sent his possessions across;
23
After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.
24 and Ya'akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak.
24
So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
25 When he saw that he did not defeat Ya'akov, he struck Ya'akov's hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him.
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 The man said, "Let me go, because it's daybreak." But Ya'akov replied, "I won't let you go unless you 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 asked, "What is your name?" and he answered, "Ya'akov."
27
The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, "From now on, you will no longer be called Ya'akov, but Isra'el; because you have shown your strength to both God and men and have prevailed."
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 Ya'akov asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he answered, "Why are you asking about my name?" and blessed him there.
29
Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 Ya'akov called the place P'ni-El [face of God], "Because I have seen God face to face, yet my life is spared."
30
So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 As the sun rose upon him he went on past P'ni-El, limping at the hip.
31
The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32 This is why, to this day, the people of Isra'el do not eat the thigh muscle that passes along the hip socket - because the man struck Ya'akov's hip at its socket.
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.
