Genesis 32:22-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

22. During that night he got up and gathered his two wives, his two slaves and his eleven children and crossed at the shallow part of the Jabbok River.

23. After he sent them across the stream, he sent everything else across.

24. So Jacob was left alone. Then a man wrestled with him until dawn.

25. When the man saw that he could not win against Jacob, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that it was dislocated as they wrestled.

26. Then the man said, “Let me go; it’s almost dawn.”But Jacob answered, “I won’t let you go until you bless me.”

27. So the man asked him, “What’s your name?”“Jacob,” he answered.

28. The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob but Israel [He Struggles With God], because you have struggled with God and with men—and you have won.”
