Gen. 32.24 , 25 , 26 , 27 28 &c.
And Jacob was left alone , and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day . And when he saw that he prevailed not against him , he touched the hollow of his Thigh : And the hollow of Jacobs Thigh was out of joynt as he wrestled with him . And he said , Let me go for the day breaketh ; and he said I will not let thee go , unless thou bless me . And he said unto him , What is thy name ? and he said , Jacob ; and he said , Thy name shall no more be called Jacob , but Israel , for as a Prince hast thou power with God and with men , and hast prevailed &c.
