*
And Jacob was left alone ;
and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day .
*
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him ,
he touched the hollow of his thigh ;
and the hollow of Jacob '
thigh was out of joint ,
as he wrestled with him .
*
And he said ,
Let me go ,
for the day breaks .
And he said ,
I will not let you go ,
except you bless me .
*
And he said to him ,
What is your name ?
And he said ,
Jacob .
*
And he said ,
Your name shall be called no more Jacob ,
but Israel :
for as a prince have you power with God and with men ,
and have prevailed .
*
And Jacob asked him ,
and said ,
Tell me ,
I pray you ,
your name .
And he said ,
Why is it that you do ask after my name ?
And he blessed him there .
*
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel :
for I have seen God face to face ,
and my life is preserved .
