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.| 29 |Please,| Jacob inquired, |Tell me your name.| But he asked, |Why are you asking about my name?| And he blessed Jacob there. 30 Jacob would later call that place Peniel, because |I saw God face to face, but my life was spared.| 31 The sun was rising above Jacob as he crossed over from Peniel, limping due to his wounded thigh. 32 Therefore, to this day the Israelis do not eat the hip tendon that connects to the thigh socket, because he had injured the socket of the thigh where the tendon connected to Jacob's hip.
