Genesis 32:24-29

24And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained, as he wrestled with him. 26And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27And he saidH559 unto him, What is thy name? And he saidH559, Jacob. 28And he saidH559, Thy nameH8034 shall be called no more JacobH3290, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed. 29And JacobH3290 asked him, and saidH559, Tell me, I pray thee, thy nameH8034. And he saidH559, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my nameH8034? And he blessed him there.
