24 ad taried behinde him selfe alone.And there wrastled a man with him vnto the breakynge of the daye. And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
25 And when he sawe that he coude not prevayle agaynst him he smote hi vnder the thye and the senowe of Iacobs thy shranke as he wrastled with him. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.
26 And he sayde: let me goo for the daye breaketh. And he sayde: I will not lett the goo excepte thou blesse me. Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 And he sayde vnto him: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob. And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28 And he sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore but Israell. For thou hast wrastled with God and with men ad hast preuayled. Then he said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed.” Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 And Iacob asked him sainge tell me thi name. And he sayde wherfore dost thou aske after my name? and he blessed him there. Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel for I haue sene God face to face and yet is my lyfe reserved. So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.” So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 And as he went ouer Peniel the sonne rose vpon him and he halted vpon his thye: The sun rose upon him as he passed Penuel, limping because of his hip. The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32 wherfore the childern of Israell eate not of the senow that shrancke vnder the thye vnto this daye: because that he smote Iacob vnder the thye in the senow that shroncke. Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip on the sinew of the thigh. Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
