22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
