Genesis 32:24-32 CSB
Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. [25] When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob’s hip socket as they wrestled and dislocated his hip. [26] Then he said to Jacob, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” [27] “What is your name?” the man asked. “Jacob,” he replied. [28] “Your name will no longer be Jacob,” he said. “It will be Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.” [29] Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he answered, “Why do you ask my name?” And he blessed him there. [30] Jacob then named the place Peniel, “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “yet my life has been spared.” [31] The sun shone on him as he passed by Penuel—limping because of his hip. [32] That is why, still today, the Israelites don’t eat the thigh muscle that is at the hip socket: because he struck Jacob’s hip socket at the thigh muscle.
