Bible Bed Time Stories: Genesis 32: 24-32 by ric gustafson
At one point, Jacob was alone. Then someone grabbed him. They wrestled until dawn. The stranger knew he could not win. So he broke Jacob's hip.
The man said " let me go".
Jacob replied. " I won't let you go unless you bless me".
" What is your name?".
" Jacob".
" Not anymore" the man replied. " It is now Israel".
Jacob could not figure out what was going on. " Why?".
" Because you have wrestled with God". The man smiled. " And have won".
" What is your name?".
" Why do you want to know?". The man blessed Jacob.
Then Jacob knew he had seen God's face.
