²⁴ So Jacob was left alone,^(A) and a man^(B) wrestled with him till daybreak.

²⁵ When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip^(A) so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.

²⁶ Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”

But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”^(A)

²⁷ The man asked him, “What is your name?”

“Jacob,”^(A) he answered.

²⁸ Then the man said, “Your name^(A) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,^[a](B) because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”^(C)
