24 ad taried behinde him selfe alone.And there wrastled a man with him vnto the breakynge of the daye.

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.

26 And he sayde: let me goo for the daye breaketh. And he sayde: I will not lett the goo excepte thou blesse me.

27 And he sayde vnto him: what is thy name? He answered: Iacob.

28 And he sayde: thou shalt be called Iacob nomore but Israell. For thou hast wrastled with God and with men ad hast preuayled.

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.

30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel for I haue sene God face to face and yet is my lyfe reserved.

31 And as he went ouer Peniel the sonne rose vpon him and he halted vpon his thye:

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.
