Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”

So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

So Jacob named the place Peniel, saying, “Indeed, I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.

“What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied.

And Jacob requested, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed Jacob there.
