Ġenesi 32: 23-32

32:23 And having delivered over all the things that belonged to him,

32:24 he remained alone. U ara, a man wrestled with him until morning.

32:25 And when he saw that he would not be able to overcome him, he touched the nerve of his thigh, and immediately it withered.

32:26 U qallu, “Release me, for now the dawn ascends.” He responded, “I will not release you, unless you bless me.”

32:27 Therefore he said, “What is your name?” He answered, “Jacob.”

32:28 Imma qal, “Your name will not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if you have been strong against God, how much more will you prevail against men?”

32:29 Jacob questioned him, "Għidli, by what name are you called?” He responded, “Why do you ask my name?” And he blessed him in the same place.

32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, qal, “I have seen God face to face, and my soul has been saved.”

32:31 And immediately the sun rose upon him, after he had crossed beyond Peniel. Iżda fil-verità, he limped on his foot.

32:32 Għal din ir-raġuni, the sons of Israel, even to the present day, do not eat the nerve that withered in Jacob’s thigh, because he touched the nerve of his thigh and it was obstructed. – See more at: https://2fish.co/bible/old-testament/genesis/#sthash.u7c3qwdA.dpuf
