28. “What is your name?” the man asked. He answered, “Jacob.”
29. Then the man said, “You shall no longer be named Jacob, but Israel, because you have contended with divine and human beings and have prevailed.”
30. Jacob then asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He answered, “Why do you ask for my name?” With that, he blessed him.
31. Jacob named the place Peniel, “because I have seen God face to face,” he said, “yet my life has been spared.”
32. At sunrise, as he left Penuel, Jacob limped along because of his hip.
33. That is why, to this day, the Israelites do not eat the sciatic muscle that is on the hip socket, because he had struck Jacob’s hip socket at the sciatic muscle.
