Genesis 32:30-32
Holman Christian Standard Bible
30 Jacob then named the place Peniel,[a] “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “and I have been delivered.”(A) 31 The sun shone on him as he passed by Penuel[b](B)—limping because of his hip. 32 That is why, to this day, the Israelites don’t eat the thigh muscle that is at the hip socket: because He struck Jacob’s hip socket at the thigh muscle.[c]

New International Version
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[a] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,(A) and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[b](B) and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip,(C) because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.
