Genesis 32:21-28 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

21. So the presents went before him, but himself lodged that night in the camp.

22. And rising early he took his two wives, and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc.

23. And when all things were brought over that belonged to him,

24. He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.

25. And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.

26. And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.

27. And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.

28. But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
