²²That night he arose and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven children and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. ²³And he took them and sent them across the stream. Then he sent across all his possessions. ²⁴And Jacob remained alone, and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the dawn. ²⁵And when he^h saw that he could not prevail against him, he struck his hip socket, so that Jacob’s hip socket was sprained as he wrestled with him. ²⁶Then heⁱ said, “Let me go, for dawn is breaking.” But he answered, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” ²⁷Then he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” ²⁸And he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,^j for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.” ²⁹Then Jacob asked and said, “Please tell me your name.” And he said, “Why do you ask this—for my name?” And he blessed him there. ³⁰Then Jacob called the name of the place Peniel which means “I have seen God face to face and my life was spared.” ³¹Then the sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
