Now he got up that same night and took his two wives, his two female slaves, and his eleven children, and crossed the shallow place of the ^(C1)Jabbok.

He took them and sent them across the stream. And he sent across whatever he had.

Then Jacob was left alone, and a man ^(C1)wrestled with him until daybreak.

When the man saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of ^(F1)Jacob's hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.

Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But he said, "^(C1)I will not let you go unless you bless me."

So he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."

Then ^(C1)he said, "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but ^(F1)Israel; for you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed."

And ^(C1)Jacob asked him and said, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And he blessed him there.

So Jacob named the place ^(F1)Peniel, for he said, "^(C1)I have seen God face to face, yet my ^(F2)life has been ^(F3)spared."

Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over ^(C1)Penuel, and he was limping on his hip.

Therefore, to this day the sons of Israel do not eat the tendon of the hip which is on the socket of the hip, because he touched the socket of Jacob's hip in the tendon of the hip.
