Genesis 32:24-27

Jacob Wrestles with God

²⁴ And Jacob was left alone. And _g a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. ²⁵ When 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. ²⁶ Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, _h "I will not let you go unless you bless me." ²⁷ And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."
