“Jacob will no longer be your name,” said the man. “Instead you will be called Israel, because you fought with God and with men and you won.”

Then the man said, “Let me go because it's almost dawn.” “I won't let you go unless you bless me,” Jacob replied.

But Jacob stayed there alone. A man came and wrestled with him until dawn.

Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “I saw God face to face and I'm still alive!”

When the man realized he couldn't beat Jacob, he hit Jacob's hip socket and put it out of joint as he wrestled with him.

“What's your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.

“Please tell me your name,” Jacob asked. “Why do you ask me my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.

I don't deserve all the trustworthy love and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I crossed the Jordan years ago with just my walking stick, and now I have two large camps.

(That's why, even today, Israelites don't eat the thigh tendon attached to the hip socket, because that's where the man hit Jacob's hip socket.)

Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’

Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children.
