* And Jacob was left alone ; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day . * And when he saw that he could net prevail against him , he struck against the hollow of his thigh ; and the hollow of Jacob ’s thigh was put out of joint , as he was wrestling with him . * And he said , Let me go , for the day hath dawned . And he said , I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed me . * And he said unto him , What is thy name ? and he said , Jacob . * And he said , Not Jacob shall any more be called thy name , but Israel ; for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men , and hast prevailed . * And Jacob asked him , and said , tell me , I pray thee , thy name . And he said , Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name ? And he blessed him there . * And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel : for I have seen an angel of God face to face , and my life hath been preserved .
