29 And Iacob asked him, saying: tell me thy name. And he sayde: wherefore doest thou aske after my name? And he blessed hym there. 30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued. 31 And as he went ouer Peniel, the sunne rose vpon hym, and he halted vpon his thigh. 32 And therefore it is that the chyldren of Israel eate not of the sinnowe that shranke in that place of the thigh, vnto this day: because that he touched the hucklebone of Iacobs thigh, about the sinnowe that shranke.
