Wrestling with God

22 And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, aand crossed over the ford of Jabbok.  
23 He took them, sent them1 over the brook, and sent over what he had.  
24 Then Jacob was left alone; and aa Man wrestled with him until the1 breaking of day.  
25 Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He1 touched the socket of his hip; and athe socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.  
26 And aHe said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, b“I will not let You go unless You bless me!”  
27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”
28 And He said, a“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but1 Israel; for you have bstruggled with God and cwith men, and have prevailed.”  
29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, a“Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He bblessed him there.  
30 So Jacob called the name of the place1 Peniel: “For aI have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”  
31 Just as he crossed over1 Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.  
32 Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle that shrank, which is on the hip socket, because He1 touched the socket of Jacob’s hip in the muscle that shrank.
