Genesis 32:30-32 Common English Bible (CEB)

30. Jacob named the place Peniel, "because I’ve seen God face-to-face, and my life has been saved."

31. The sun rose as Jacob passed Penuel, limping because of his thigh.

32. Therefore, Israelites don’t eat the tendon attached to the thigh muscle to this day, because he grabbed Jacob’s thigh muscle at the tendon.
