“Not anymore,” the man said to him. “Your new name is Israel, for you have struggled both with God and with people and have overcome.”

Eventually, the man said to him, “Let me go, for the day is breaking.” But Jacob refused. “No! Not until you bless me!”

and Jacob was left all alone. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a man appeared and wrestled with him until daybreak.

So Jacob named the place Penuel, saying, “I have seen God face-to-face, yet my life has been spared!”

When the man saw that he was not winning the match, he struck Jacob’s hip and knocked it out of joint, leaving it wrenched as he continued to wrestle with him.

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

Jacob said, “Please, tell me your name.” “Why ask my name?” the man replied, then he spoke a blessing over Jacob.

I am so unworthy of all the loving-kindness and faithfulness that you have showered upon me, your servant. When I crossed this river Jordan years ago, all I had to my name was a staff in my hand, and now I have increased to become two camps!

To this day, the Israelites do not eat the thigh muscle attached to the hip socket, because the man struck Jacob’s hip socket at the thigh muscle.

Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I’m afraid he will come and kill all of us, including the women and children.
