For he said, I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me. 21 So the present went over before him: and he himself lodged that night in the camp. 22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok. 23 And he took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over what he had. 24 And Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaks. But he said, I will not let you go, unless you bless me. 27 And he said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob. 28 And he said, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince you have power with God and with men, and have prevailed.
