24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
In this verse Jacob wrestles with a divine being throughout the night. At daybreak, the being blesses Jacob and is given the new name of Israel, signifying his transformation from a deceitful character to one who wrestles with God. This symbolizes the spiritual journey of personal growth and redemption, highlighting the importance of perseverance and wrestling with one's faith to receive blessings and a new identity in God.
