Jacob wrestles with a man until daybreak. Though the man tries to leave, Jacob refuses to let him go without receiving a blessing. The man changes Jacob's name to Israel, saying he has power with God. Jacob names the place Peniel, saying he has seen God face to face. His thigh is injured from the wrestling.

1.  Genesis 32:24-31
 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there
wrestled a man with him until the
breaking of the day.
 25 And when he saw that he prevailed
not against him, he touched the hollow
of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's
thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled
with him.
 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day
breaketh. And he said, I will not let
thee go, except thou bless me.

2.  27 And he said unto him, What is thy
name? And he said, Jacob.
 28 And he said, Thy name shall be
called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as
a prince hast thou power with God and
with men, and hast prevailed.
 29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell
me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said,
Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after
my name? And he blessed him there.

3.  30 And Jacob called the name of the
place Peniel: for I have seen God face to
face, and my life is preserved.
 31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun
rose upon him, and he halted upon his
thigh.

understanding.

them that have no might he increaseth
strength.

weary, and the young men shall utterly

shall walk, and not faint.
