29. Then Jacob asked and said, “Please tell me your name.” And he said, “Why do you ask this—for my name?” And he blessed him there.
30. Then Jacob called the name of the place Peniel which means “I have seen God face to face and my life was spared.”
31. Then the sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32. Therefore the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the sciatic nerve that is upon the socket of the hip unto this day, because he struck the socket of the thigh of Jacob at the sinew of the sciatic nerve.
