GENESIS 32

\n

Jacob Wrestles With God

\n

22 That night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two female servants and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.\xa023 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.\xa024 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.\xa025 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob\u2019s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.\xa026 Then the man said, \u201cLet me go, for it is daybreak.\u201d

\n

But Jacob replied, \u201cI will not let you go unless you bless me.\u201d 27 The man asked him, \u201cWhat is your name?\u201d \u201cJacob,\u201d he answered. 28 Then the man said, \u201cYour name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,\xa0because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.\u201d 29 Jacob said, \u201cPlease tell me your name.\u201dBut he replied, \u201cWhy do you ask my name?\u201d Then he blessed him there. 30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,\xa0saying, \u201cIt is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.\u201d 31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,\xa0and he was limping because of his hip.\xa032 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob\u2019s hip was touched near the tendon.
