Genesis 32:25-32

25When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, a“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28Then he said, b“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,
 Israel means He strives with God, or God strives
for dyou have striven with God and ewith men, and have prevailed.”
29Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, fWhy is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,
 Peniel means the face of God
saying, “For hI have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”
31The sun rose upon him as he passed iPenuel, limping because of his hip. 32Therefore to this day the people of Israel do not eat the sinew of the thigh that is on the hip socket, because he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip on the sinew of the thigh.
