Deli

The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob but Israel [He Struggles With God], because you have struggled with God and with men—and you have won.”

Then the man said, “Let me go; it’s almost dawn.” But Jacob answered, “I won’t let you go until you bless me.”

So Jacob was left alone. Then a man wrestled with him until dawn.

So Jacob named that place Peniel [Face of God], because he said, “I have seen God face to face, but my life was saved.”

When the man saw that he could not win against Jacob, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that it was dislocated as they wrestled.

So the man asked him, “What’s your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.

Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” The man answered, “Why do you ask for my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.

I’m not worthy of all the love and faithfulness you have shown me. I only had a shepherd’s staff when I crossed the Jordan River, but now I have two camps.

(Therefore, even today the people of Israel do not eat the muscle of the thigh attached to the hip socket because God touched the socket of Jacob’s hip at the muscle of the thigh.)

Then Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham and God of my father Isaac! LORD, you said to me, ‘Go back to your land and to your relatives, and I will make you prosperous.’

Please save me from my brother Esau, because I’m afraid of him. I’m afraid that he’ll come and attack me and the mothers and children too.
