Genesis 32:24-29

24And JacobH3290 was leftH3498 alone; and there wrestledH79 a manH376 with him until the breakingH5927 of the dayH7837.1 25And when he sawH7200 that he prevailedH3201 not against him, he touchedH5060 the hollow of his thighH3409; and the hollowH3709 of Jacob’sH3290 thighH3409 was out of jointH3363, as he wrestledH79 with him. 26And he saidH559, Let me goH7971, for the dayH7837 breakethH5927. And he saidH559, I will not let thee goH7971, exceptH518 thou blessH1288 me. 27And he saidH559 unto him, What is thy nameH8034? And he saidH559, JacobH3290. 28And he saidH559, Thy nameH8034 shall be calledH559 no more JacobH3290, but IsraelH3478: for as a prince hast thou powerH8280 with GodH430 and with menH582, and hast prevailedH3201.2 29And JacobH3290 askedH7592 him, and saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, thy nameH8034. And he saidH559, Wherefore is itH2088 that thou dost askH7592 after my nameH8034? And he blessedH1288 him there.
