24. So Jacob was left alone. A man struggled with him until morning.
25. The man saw that he couldn't win. So he touched the inside of Jacob's hip. As Jacob struggled with the man, Jacob's hip was twisted.
26. Then the man said, "Let me go. It is morning." But Jacob replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."
27. The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered.
28. Then the man said, "Your name will not be Jacob anymore. Instead, it will be Israel. You have struggled with God and with men. And you have won."
29. Jacob said, "Please tell me your name." But he replied, "Why do you want to know my name?" Then he blessed Jacob there.
30. So Jacob named the place Peniel. He said, "I saw God face to face. But I'm still alive!"
31. The sun rose above Jacob as he passed by Peniel. He was limping because of his hip.
