*
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 hollw of his thigh ;
and the hollow of Jacobs thigh was out of joint ,
as he wrestled with him .
*
And he said ,
Let me go ,
for the day breaketh .
And he said ,
I will not let thee go ,
except thou bless me .
*
And he said unto him ,
What is thy name ?
And he said ,
Jacob Ya #
aqob #.
*
And he said ,
Thy name shall be called no more Jacob Ya #
aqob #,
but Israel Yisra #
el #:
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 P @
nuw #
el #:
for I have seen God face to face ,
and my life is preserved .
*
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him ,
and he halted upon his thigh .
*
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank ,
which is upon the hollow of the thigh ,
unto this day :
because he touched the hollow of Jacobs thigh in the sinew that shrank .
