Read in context

Genesis 32:22–26 · Berean Standard Bible

22 During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

23 He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.

24 So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.

25 When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled.

26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
