21 So the present went on over before him, but he himself
lodged that night in the camp.
22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two
female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
23 He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over
what he had.
24 Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled h\with him
until the breaking of day.
25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He
touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint
as He wrestled with him.
26 And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless
You bless me!”
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”
28 And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob,
but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I
pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you
asked about My name?” and He blessed him
there.
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: “For I have
seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”
31 Just as he crossed over Peniel the sun rose on him, and
he limped on his hip.
32 Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat
the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He touched the
socket of Jacob’s hip in the muscle that shrank.
