29 And (A)Jacob asked him and said, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And he blessed him there. 30 So Jacob named the place [a]Peniel, for he said, “(B)I have seen God face to face, yet my [b]life has been [c]spared.” 31 Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed over (C)Penuel, and he was limping on his hip.
