In context

25When he saw that he didn’t prevail against him, the man touched the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was strained as he wrestled.

26The man said, “Let me go, for the day breaks.” Jacob said, “I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”

27He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob”.

28He said, “Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have fought with God and with men, and have prevailed.”

29Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” He said, “Why is it that you ask what my name is?” So he blessed him there.
