24 And so Jacob was left alone, and he struggled with a man until daybreak. 25 When the man realized that he hadn't yet won the struggle, he injured the socket of Jacob's thigh, dislocating it as he wrestled with him, 26 and said, |Let me go, because the dawn has come.| |I won't let you go,| Jacob replied, |unless you bless me.| 27 Then the man asked him, |What's your name?| |Jacob,| he responded 28 |Your name won't be Jacob anymore,| the man replied, |but Israel, because you exerted yourself against both God and men, and you've emerged victorious.| Genesis 32:24-28, Intl.
