Genesis 32:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 32:30

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.
