Genesis 32:22-32 - Jacob Wrestles With God
22 And he will rise in that night and take his two wives and his two maids, and his eleven sons, and he will pass over the passage of Jabbok. 23 Andhewill take them and will cause them to pass through the torrent, and he will cause to pass through what is to him.
24 And Jacob will be left alone by himself, and a man will wrestle with him till the ascending of the morning. 25 And he will see thathewill not prevail over him and he will touch upon the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh will be alienated in his wrestling with him. 26 And he will say, Send me away, for the morning ascended: and he will say, I will not send thee away, unless thou didst bless me.
27 And he will say to him, What thy name? and he will say, Jacob.
28 And he will say, Thy name shall no more be said Jacob, but Israel, for thou wert a prince with God and with men, and thou shalt prevail. 29 And Jacob will ask and will say, Announce now, thy name: and he will say, For what this thou wilt ask for my name? and he will bless him there.
30 And Jacob will call the name of the place, the face of God: for I saw God lace to face, and my soul shall be saved. 31 And the sun will rise to him when he passed through the face of God, and he limped upon his thigh. 32 For this, the sons of Israel will not eat the sinew which dried up which is upon the hollow of the thigh, even till this day; for he touched upon the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew which dried up.
