22 But he rose up that night and took his two wives, his two women servants, and his eleven sons and passed over the ford Jabbok. 23 And he took them and sent them across the brook; also he sent over all that he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone, and a Man wrestled with him until daybreak. 25 And when saw that He did not prevail against , He touched the hollow of his thigh; and Jacob's thigh was put out of joint as he wrestled with Him. 26 Then He said, Let Me go, for day is breaking. But said, I will not let You go unless You declare a blessing upon me. 27 asked him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob ! 28 And He said, Your name shall be called no more Jacob , but Israel ; for you have contended and have power with God and with men and have prevailed. 29 Then Jacob asked Him, Tell me, I pray You, what is Your name? But He said, Why is it that you ask My name? And a blessing on there. 30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel , saying, For I have seen God face to face, and my life is spared and not snatched away. 31 And as he passed Penuel , the sun rose upon him, and he was limping because of his thigh. 32 That is why to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the hollow of the thigh, because touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh on the sinew of the hip.
