*
Then Jacob was left alone ;
and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day .
*
Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him ,
He touched the socket of his hip ;
and the socket of Jacob '
s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him .
*
And He said , "
Let Me go ,
for the day breaks ."
But he said , "
I will not let You go unless You bless me !"
*
So He said to him , "
What is your name ?"
He said , "
Jacob ."
*
And He said , "
Your name shall no longer be called Jacob ,
but Israel ;
for you have struggled with God and with men ,
and have prevailed ."
*
Then Jacob asked ,
saying , "
Tell me Your name ,
I pray ."
And He said , "
Why is it that you ask about My name ?"
And He blessed him there .
*
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel : "
For I have seen God face to face ,
and my life is preserved ."
*
Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose on him ,
and he limped on his hip .
*
Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank ,
which is on the hip socket ,
because He touched the socket of Jacob '
s hip in the muscle that shrank .
