Genesis 32:25-32

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 to 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 prevailedH3201.1 29And JacobH3290 askedH7592 him, and saidH559, TellH5046 me, I pray thee, thy nameH8034. And he saidH559, why is itH2088 that thou dost askH7592 after my nameH8034? And he blessedH1288 him there. 30And JacobH3290 calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 PenielH6439: for I have seenH7200 GodH430 faceH6440 to faceH6440, and my lifeH5315 is preservedH5337.2 31And as he passed overH5674 PenuelH6439 the sunH8121 roseH2224 upon him, and he limpedH6760 upon his thighH3409. 32Therefore the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 eatH398 not of the sinewH1517 which shrankH5384, which is upon the hollowH3709 of the thighH3409, to this dayH3117: because he touchedH5060 the hollowH3709 of Jacob’sH3290 thighH3409 in the sinewH1517 that shrankH5384.
