Genesis 32:25

Jacob Wrestles with God

24So Jacob was left all alone, and there a man wrestled with him until daybreak.25When the man saw that he could not overpower Jacob, he struck the socket of Jacob’s hip and dislocated it as they wrestled. 26Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
