²⁹ Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”^(D)

But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?”^(E) Then he blessed^(F) him there.

³⁰ So Jacob called the place Peniel,^[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,^(G) and yet my life was spared.”

³¹ The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,^[c](H) and he was limping because of his hip.

¹⁴ So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, while I move along slowly at the pace of the flocks and herds^(A) before me and the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.^(B)”
