Genesis 32:22–31

²²And rising early, he took his two wives and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.

²³And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,

²⁴He remained alone; and behold, a man wrestled with him till morning.

²⁵And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.

²⁶And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

²⁷And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.

²⁸But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?

²⁹Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place.

³⁰And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.

³¹And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot.
