Genesis 32:22-32 - Jacob Wrestles With God
22 And he arose in that night and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, - and pressed over the ford of Jabbok. 23 So he took them, and sent them over the brook, - and sent over that which he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone, - and there wrestled a man with him, until the uprisings of the dawn. 25 And when he saw, that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh, - and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was put out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 Then said he - Let me go, for uprisen hath the dawn. And he said: I will not let thee go, except thou have blessed me
27 Then he said unto him - What is thy name? And he said - Jacob.
28 Then he said - Not Jacob, shall thy name be called any more, but Israel, - For thou hast contended with God and with men and hast prevailed. 29 Then asked Jacob and said, Do, I pray thee, tell me thy name! And he said - Wherefore now, shouldest thou ask for my name? And he blessed him there,
30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; For I saw God face to face; and my soul was delivered, 31 And the sun rose on him as soon as he had passed over Penuel, - he, moreover was halting upon his thigh, 32 For this cause, the sons of Israel eat not of the nerve of the large hip-sinew, which is by the hollow of the thigh, until this day, - because he touched the hollow of the thigh of Jacob, in the nerve of the hip-sinew.
