Genesis 32:24-28
24So JacobH3290 was leftH3498 all aloneH905, and there a manH3761 wrestledH79 with himH5973 untilH5704 daybreakH5927H7837. 25When the man sawH7200 thatH3588 he could notH3808 overpowerH3201 Jacob, he struckH5060 the socketH3709 of Jacob’s hipH3409 and dislocatedH3363H3709 it as theyH5973 wrestledH79. 26Then the man saidH559, “Let me goH7971, forH3588 it is daybreakH5927H7837.”
But Jacob repliedH559, “I will notH3808 let you goH7971 unlessH3588H518 you bless meH1288.”
27“WhatH4100 is your nameH8034?” the man askedH559H413.
28Then the man saidH559, “Your nameH8034 will noH3808 longerH5750 beH559 JacobH3290,2 but IsraelH3478H3588,3 becauseH3588H518 you have struggledH8280 withH5973 GodH430 and withH5973 menH376, and you have prevailedH3201.”
