Genesis - ch 32 v 21 - 32
- And the gift went over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
- And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok;
- and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.
- And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.
- And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the joint of his thigh; and the joint of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him.
- And he said, Let me go, for the dawn ariseth. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.
- And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
- And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.
- And Jacob asked and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.
- And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel -- For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.
- And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.
- Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh -- the sinew.
