Jacob had sent his family and servants ahead to meet his twin brother Esau, along with his best livestock to be given as a peace offering. Left alone in the night, Jacob met a stranger and wrestled him until dawn. The angel, realizing he could not prevail, put Jacob¡¦s hip out of joint and implored, 'Let me go, for the day is breaking.' Jacob refused without a blessing. The angel asked Jacob his name and said, 'You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with human beings and have prevailed.' Then the angel blessed Jacob.
