Genesis 32:25-31
25When the man saw that he could not defeat Jacob, he struck the socket of his hip so the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
26Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” “I will not let you go,” Jacob replied, “unless you bless me.”
27The man asked him, “What is your name?” He answered, “Jacob.”
28“No longer will your name be Jacob,” the man told him, “but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed.”
29Then Jacob asked, “Please tell me your name.” “Why do you ask my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.
30So Jacob named the place Peniel, explaining, “Certainly I have seen God face to face and have survived.”
31The sun rose over him as he crossed over Penuel, but he was limping because of his hip.
