Genesis 32:24-28

24Then Jacob was left alone, and a man 1wrestled with him until daybreak.

25When the man saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of 2Jacob’s hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.

26Then he said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” But he said, “3I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

27So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”

28Then 4he said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but 5Israel; for you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
