28. Then the man said, “Your name will not be Jacob. Your name will now be Israel. I give you this name because you have fought with God and with men, and you have won.”
29. Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But the man said, “Why do you ask my name?” Then the man blessed Jacob at that place.
30. So Jacob named that place Peniel. He said, “At this place, I saw God face to face, but my life was spared.”
31. Then the sun came up as Jacob left Peniel. He was limping because of his leg.
32. So even today, the people of Israel don’t eat the muscle that is on the hip joint, because this is the muscle where Jacob was hurt.
