Genesis 32:24-26
EasyEnglish Bible
24 Then Jacob was alone. A man came and fought with him for a long time.[a] They continued until dawn.
25 The man saw that he was not winning the fight against Jacob. So he hit Jacob's hip while they were fighting.[b] In that way, Jacob's hip moved out of its proper place. 26 Then the man said to Jacob, ‘Now let me go because dawn has come.’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not let you go unless you bless me.’
