Genesis 32:29-31

29Then 1Jacob asked him and said, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And he blessed him there.

30So Jacob named the place 2Peniel, for he said, “3I have seen God face to face, yet my 4life has been preserved.”

31Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over 5Penuel, and he was limping on his thigh.
