28 E ele disse: Não se dirá mais teu nome Jacó, mas sim Israel: porque lutaste com Deus e com os homens, e venceste.

29 Então Jacó lhe perguntou, e disse: Declara-me agora teu nome. E ele respondeu: Por que perguntas por meu nome? E abençoou-o ali.

30 E chamou Jacó o nome daquele lugar Peniel: porque vi a Deus face a face, e foi livrada minha alma.

31 E saiu-lhe o sol quando passou a Peniel; e andava mancando de sua coxa.

32 Por isto até o dia de hoje os filhos de Israel não comem do tendão que se contrai, o qual está na juntura da coxa; porque o homem tocou a Jacó este lugar de sua coxa no tendão que se contrai.
