Genesis 32:30-32

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁰ And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel [the face of God], saying, For I have seen God face to face, and my life is spared and not snatched away.

³¹ And as he passed Penuel [Peniel], the sun rose upon him, and he was limping because of his thigh.

³² That is why to this day the Israelites do not eat the sinew of the hip which is on the hollow of the thigh, because [the Angel of the Lord] touched the hollow of Jacob’s thigh on the sinew of the hip.
