The man said, “From now on, your name will no longer be Jacob. You will be called Israel, because you have wrestled with God and with men, and you have won.”

They kept on wrestling until the man said, “Let go of me! It's almost daylight.” “You can't go until you bless me,” Jacob replied.

Afterwards, Jacob went back and spent the rest of the night alone. A man came and fought with Jacob until just before daybreak.

Jacob said, “I have seen God face to face, and I am still alive.” So he named the place Peniel.

When the man saw that he could not win, he struck Jacob on the hip and threw it out of joint.

Then the man asked, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.

Jacob said, “Now tell me your name.” “Don't you know who I am?” he asked. And he blessed Jacob.

I don't deserve all the good things you have done for me, your servant. When I first crossed the Jordan, I had only my walking stick, but now I have two large groups of people and animals.

and the muscle on his hip joint had been injured. That's why even today the people of Israel don't eat the hip muscle of any animal.

Then Jacob prayed: You, LORD, are the God who was worshiped by my grandfather Abraham and by my father Isaac. You told me to return home to my family, and you promised to be with me and make me successful.

Please rescue me from my brother. I am afraid he will come and attack not only me, but my wives and children as well.
