Genesis 32:23-32 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

23. And he took them and sent them over the stream, and sent over what he had.

24. And Ya‛aqoḇ was left alone. And a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

25. And when He saw that He did not overcome him, He touched the socket of his hip. And the socket of Ya‛aqoḇ’s hip was dislocated as He wrestled with him.

26. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I am not letting You go until You have blessed me!”

27. So He asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Ya‛aqoḇ.”

28. And He said, “Your name is no longer called Ya‛aqoḇ, but Yisra’ĕl, because you have striven with Elohim and with men, and have overcome.”

29. And Ya‛aqoḇ asked Him, saying, “Please let me know Your Name.” And He said, “Why do you ask about My Name?” And He blessed him there.

30. And Ya‛aqoḇ called the name of the place Peni’ĕl, “For I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.”

31. And the sun rose on him as he passed over Penu’ĕl, and he limped on his hip.

32. That is why the children of Yisra’ĕl to this day do not eat the sinew of the hip, which is on the socket of the thigh, because He touched the socket of the thigh of Ya‛aqoḇ, in the sinew of the hip.
