Bereshis 32:21-27 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

21. (22) So went the minchah (present) over ahead of him; but he himself stayed balailah in the machaneh.

22. (23) And he rose up that night, and took his two nashim and his two shifchot, and his eleven yeladim, and passed over the ma'avar (ford) Yabbok.

23. (24) And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over [all] that he had.

24. (25) And Ya'akov was left by himself; and there wrestled an ish with him until the shachar (dawn, sunup).

25. (26) And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he struck his hip socket; so Ya'akov's hip socket dislocated while he wrestled with him.

26. (27) And he said, Let me go, for shachar breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, unless thou make a berakah upon me.

27. (28) And he said unto him, What is shemecha? And he said, Ya'akov.
