Then Jacob was left alone;
and a Man wrestled with him until the
breaking of day.
Now when He saw that He did not prevail
against him,
He touched the socket of his hip;
and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of
joint as He wrestled with him.
And He said, “Let Me go, for the day
breaks.”
But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
So He said to him, “What is your name?”
But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
So He said to him, “What is your name?”
He said, "Jacob."
And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob [Deceiver],
but Israel [Prince of God]; for you have struggled
with God and with men, and have prevailed."
Then Jacob asked, saying, "Tell me your name, I pray."
And He said,
"Why is it that you ask about My name?"
And He blessed him there.
“For I have seen God face to face, and my
life is preserved.”
Just as he crossed over Penuel
the sun rose on him…
