Genesis 32:29-31

29Then 1JacobH3290 askedH7592 him and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 tellH5046 me your nameH8034.” But he saidH559, “WhyH4100 is it that you askH7592 my nameH8034?” And he blessedH1288 him thereH8033.

30So JacobH3290 namedH7121H8034 the placeH4725 2PenielH6439, for he said, “3I have seenH7200 GodH430 faceH6440 to faceH6440, yet my 4lifeH5315 has been preservedH5337.”

31Now the sunH8121 roseH2224 upon him justH3512 as he crossedH5674 overH5674 5PenuelH6439, and he was limpingH6760 on his thighH3409.
