24 And Iacob was left hym selfe alone: and there wrasteled a man with hym, vnto the breakyng of the day. 25 And when he sawe that he coulde not preuayle agaynst hym, he smote hym vpon the hucklebone of his thigh, and the hucklebone of Iacobs thigh loosed out of ioynt as he wrastled with him. 26 And he said: let me go, for the day breaketh. Whiche aunswered: I will not let thee go, except thou blesse me. 27 And he sayde vnto hym: what is thy name? He aunswered: Iacob. 28 He sayde: thy name shalbe called no more Iacob, but Israel: For as a prince hast thou wrasteled with God, and with men, and hast preuayled. 29 And Iacob asked him, saying: tell me thy name. And he sayde: wherefore doest thou aske after my name? And he blessed hym there. 30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued. 31 And as he went ouer Peniel, the sunne rose vpon hym, and he halted vpon his thigh.
