Genesis 32:24-28

New American Standard Bible

Jacob Wrestles

²⁴ Then Jacob was left alone, and a man ^(A)wrestled with him until daybreak. ²⁵ When the man saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of ^[a]Jacob’s hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him. ²⁶ Then he said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” But he said, “^(B)I will not let you go unless you bless me.” ²⁷ So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” ²⁸ Then ^(C)he said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but ^[b]Israel; for you have contended with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
