Bible: Genesis 32:24-30
32:24 So Jacob was left alone. Then a man 1 wrestled 2 with him until daybreak. 3 32:25 When the man 4 saw that he could not defeat Jacob, 5 he struck 6 the socket of his hip so the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
32:26 Then the man 7 said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” 8 “I will not let you go,” Jacob replied, 9 “unless you bless me.” 10 32:27 The man asked him, 11 “What is your name?” 12 He answered, “Jacob.” 32:28 “No longer will your name be Jacob,” the man told him, 13 “but Israel, 14 because you have fought 15 with God and with men and have prevailed.”
32:29 Then Jacob asked, “Please tell me your name.” 16 “Why 17 do you ask my name?” the man replied. 18 Then he blessed 19 Jacob 20 there. 32:30 So Jacob named the place Peniel, 21 explaining, 22 “Certainly 23 I have seen God face to face 24 and have survived.” 25
