25 Voyant qu’il ne pouvait le vaincre, cet homme le frappa à l’emboîture de la hanche; et l’emboîture de la hanche de Jacob se démit pendant qu’il luttait avec lui.
26 Il dit: Laisse-moi aller, car l’aurore se lève. Et Jacob répondit: Je ne te laisserai point aller, que tu ne m’aies béni.
27 Il lui dit: Quel est ton nom? Et il répondit: Jacob.
28 Il dit encore: Ton nom ne sera plus Jacob, mais tu seras appelé Israël; car tu as lutté avec Dieu et avec des hommes, et tu as été vainqueur.
29 Jacob l’interrogea, en disant: Fais-moi je te prie, connaître ton nom. Il répondit: Pourquoi demandes-tu mon nom? Et il le bénit là.
