Genesis 32:27-32 ▼

27 And He says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”

28 And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”

29 And Jacob asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses him there.

30 And Jacob calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;

31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;

32 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
