New Testament

Genesis 32:27-32 English Standard Version (ESV)

27. And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.”

28. Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

29. Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him.

30. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”

31. The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip.

32. Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip on the sinew of the thigh.
