Genesis 3223 - After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions. 24 - So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 - When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 - Then the mans said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not 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 no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome."
