And rising early, he took his two wives and his two handmaids, with his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of Jaboc. 23And when all things were brought over that belonged to him, 24He remained alone; and behold, a man wrestled with him till morning. 25And when he saw that he could not overcome him, he touched the sinew of his thigh, and forthwith it shrank. 26And he said to him: Let me go, for it is break of day. He answered: I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 27And he said: What is thy name? He answered: Jacob. 28But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men? 29Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. 30And Jacob called the name of the place Phanuel, saying: I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved. 31And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he was past Phanuel; but he halted on his foot. 32Therefore the children of Israel, unto this day, eat not the sinew, that shrank in Jacob's thigh: because he touched the sinew of his thigh and it shrank.
