Genesis 32:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 32:26

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.”
