24 Then Jacob was by himself. A man was fighting with him till dawn.
25 The man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob. He gave him a blow in the hollow part of his thigh, so that his leg was damaged.
26 He said to him: »Let me go now, for the dawn is near.« But Jacob said: »I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.«
27 Then he asked: »What is your name?« And he said, »Jacob.«
28 The man said: »Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel (He Struggles With God), because you have struggled with God and with men and you have won.«
29 Jacob said: »Please tell me your name.« The man answered: »Why do you ask for my name?« Then he blessed Jacob there.
30 Jacob named that place Peniel (Face of God), because he said: »I have seen God face to face, yet my life was saved.«
