Genesis 32:24-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

24. But Jacob stayed apart by himself, and a man wrestled with him until dawn broke.

25. When the man saw that he couldn’t defeat Jacob, he grabbed Jacob’s thigh and tore a muscle in Jacob’s thigh as he wrestled with him.

26. The man said, "Let me go because the dawn is breaking."But Jacob said, "I won’t let you go until you bless me."

27. He said to Jacob, "What’s your name?" and he said, "Jacob."

28. Then he said, "Your name won’t be Jacob any longer, but Israel, because you struggled with God and with men and won."
