【创32:24】 只剩下雅各一人。有一个人来和他摔跤,直到黎明。
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
【创32:25】 那人见自己胜不过他,就将他的大腿窝摸了一把,雅各的大腿窝正在摔跤的时候就扭了。
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
【创32:26】 那人说,天黎明了,容我去吧。雅各说,你不给我祝福,我就不容你去。
And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
【创32:27】 那人说,你名叫什么?他说,我名叫雅各。
And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
【创32:28】 那人说,你的名不要再叫雅各,要叫以色列。因为你与神与人较力,都得了胜。
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
【创32:29】 雅各问他说,请将你的名告诉我。那人说,何必问我的名,于是在那里给雅各祝福。
And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
【创32:30】 雅各便给那地方起名叫毗努伊勒(就是神之面的意思),意思说,我面对面见了神,我的性命仍得保全。
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
【创32:31】 日头刚出来的时候,雅各经过毗努伊勒,他的大腿就瘸了。
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
【创32:32】 故此,以色列人不吃大腿窝的筋,直到今日,因为那人摸了雅各大腿窝的筋。
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.
