Genesis 32:9-13
Christian Standard Bible
9 Then Jacob said, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac,(A) the Lord who said to me, ‘Go back to your land and to your family, and I will cause you to prosper,’(B) 10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. Indeed, I crossed over the Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two camps. 11 Please rescue me from my brother Esau, for I am afraid of him; otherwise, he may come and attack me, the mothers, and their children. 12 You have said, ‘I will cause you to prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to be counted.’”(C)

Jacob Wrestles with God
24 Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak.(B) 25 When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob’s hip socket as they wrestled and dislocated his hip. 26 Then he said to Jacob, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”

27 “What is your name?” the man asked.
“Jacob,” he replied.
28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,”(C) he said. “It will be Israel[a] because you have struggled with God(D) and with men and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.”
But he answered, “Why do you ask my name?” (E) And he blessed him there.
30 Jacob then named the place Peniel,[b] “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “yet my life has been spared.”(F)
