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.”
29. Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”The man answered, “Why do you ask for my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
30. So Jacob named that place Peniel [Face of God], because he said, “I have seen God face to face, but my life was saved.”
31. The sun rose as he passed Penuel. He was limping because of his hip.
32. (Therefore, even today the people of Israel do not eat the muscle of the thigh attached to the hip socket because God touched the socket of Jacob’s hip at the muscle of the thigh.)
