¹³ There above it^[a] stood the Lord,^(A) and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.^(B) I will give you and your descendants the land^(C) on which you are lying.^{(D) 14} Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you^(E) will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.^(F) All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.^{[b](G) 15} I am with you^(H) and will watch over you^(I) wherever you go,^(J) and I will bring you back to this land.^(K) I will not leave you^(L) until I have done what I have promised you.^(M)”^(N)

³ Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Go back^(A) to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.”^(B)

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.”^(B)

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

“Jacob,”^(C) he answered.

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

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

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