24 And Jacob will be left alone by himself, and a man will wrestle with him till the ascending of the morning.

25 And he will see that he will not prevail over him and he will touch upon the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh will be alienated in his wrestling with him.

26 And he will say, Send me away, for the morning ascended: and he will say, I will not send thee away, unless thou didst bless me.

27 And he will say to him, What thy name? and he will say, Jacob.

28 And he will say, Thy name shall no more be said Jacob, but Israel, for thou wert a prince with God and with men, and thou shalt prevail.
