Genesis 32:
24: Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.

25: Now 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: So He said to him, "What is your name?" He said, "Jacob."

28: And He said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed."

29: Then Jacob asked, saying, "Tell me Your name, I pray." And He said, "Why is it that you ask about My name?" And He blessed him there.
