²⁵and he seeth that he is not able for him, and he cometh against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling with him; ²⁶and he saith, ‘Send me away, for the dawn hath ascended:’ and he saith, ‘I send thee not away, except thou hast blessed me.’ ²⁷And he saith unto him, ‘What is thy name?’ and he saith, ‘Jacob.’ ²⁸And he saith, ‘Thy name is no more called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast been a prince with God and with men, and dost prevail.’ ²⁹And Jacob asketh, and saith, ‘Declare, I pray thee, thy name;’ and he saith, ‘Why is this, thou askest for My name?’ and He blesseth him there. ³⁰And Jacob calleth the name of the place Peniel: for ‘I have seen God face unto face, and my life is delivered;’ ³¹and the sun riseth on him when he hath passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh; ³²therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which is on the hollow of the thigh, unto this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
