Genesis 32:24-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ He remained alone: and behold a man wrestled with him till morning.

²⁵ And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank.

²⁶ And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go except thou bless me.

²⁷ And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob.

²⁸ But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel: for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men?
