GEN 32:24–30, engwebp
²⁴Jacob was left alone, and wrestled with a man there until the breaking of the day.
²⁵When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.
²⁶The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”
²⁷He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.
²⁸He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
²⁹Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
³⁰Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for he said, “I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
