Genesis 32 ; 24 - 26 , And I Quite ; And Jacob was left alone and there < Awbaq > ''Wrestled a < Eesh > 'Male Living Being , the Eloheem with him until the breaking of < Shakar > ' the dawn '' because he was running away in fear Verse 24 . And when he , the Eloheem , saw that he did not < Yawkole > Overcome ' him Jacob . He < Nawgah > 'Touched the < Kaf > Calf of his < Yawrake > Thigh , and the < Kaf > Calf of Jacobs < Yawrake > Thigh was < Yawqah > Dislocated as he < Awbaq > Wrestled with him , so he could not run . Verse 26 . And he Eloheem said to Jacob '' Let me go from here , for < Shakar > , the dawn , is < Awlaw > 'Ascending . And he , Jacob , said '' I will not let you go from here unless you give me your < Bawrak > Blessing that it is okay to run . In Genesis 32 ; 28 And also Genesis 35 ; 10 Jacob gets the name Israel because he wrested against an angel of Yahuwa ( The Lord ) The word Israel is pronounced Yis - Raw - Ale In Aramic ( Hebrew ) And Israa'el In Ashuric / Syraic ( Arabic ) Which means '' El prevails or ascending to El . But when you continue to read further on in Genesis 32 ; 29 . 30 , And chapter 33 , He is still being called Jacob , And make note that this is after his name is change to Israel by an Eloheem in Genesis 32 ; 28 Where it states ; '' Thy Name Shall Be Called No More Jacob , But Israel '' Yet they continue to violate this and call him Jacob . Elohe , And Eloh of the Eloheem also makes a mistake by calling him Jacob when he says in Exodus 3 ; 6 ; '' Moreover He Said I Am The Elohe ( God ) of thy < Awb > Father . The Elohe ( God ) Of Abraham , The Elohe ( God ) Isaac And The Elohe ( God ) Of Jacob . And Moses hid his face ; For he was afraid to look upon Eloheem ( Gods ) . This is an Elohe , Which is the single form of Eloheem speaking , Which is obviously a different Elohe from the one in Genesis 32 ; 28 Who change Jacob's name to Israel . And stated '' Don't call him Jacob any longer . This is definitely a different Elohe or Eloheem than the one that fought Jacob in Genesis 32 ; 24 - 25 . . Verse 27 . And he the Eloheem said to him , '' What's your name ? And he Jacob said , '' Jacob'' . In the process of trying to run from his brother Esau , Jacob was stopped by What calls an < Eesh > '' Male Living Being implying that this was A Physical Man . Genesis 32 ; 24 , Says clearly ; And Jacob Was Left Alone . And There < Awbaq > ( Wrestled ) A < Essh > ( Male Man ) With Him Until The Braking Of The Day . This quote uses The Aramic Hebrew word '' Eesh , Meaning '' Male Living Being , A Physical Being . This is saying that this man was An Angel and that Angel ( Genesis 32 ; 1 ) was a man . At this point Jacob met a group of < Malawk > 'Angels ' Oviously in physical form . So in Genesis 32 ; 28 , This man is representing The Eloheem who are < Malawk > Angelic Beings . Jacob did wrestle with him , And the simple fact that Jacob's thigh was broken because of his fight with The Angel which lasted for almost 8 hours prove that it was A Physical Fight . Thus Angels come in physical form , He named the place Peni'el ( Fen-El ) meaning '' The Face Of El , Because He Said He '' Met God Face To Face '' In Genesis 32 ; 30 . In Genesis 32 ; 28 Jacob gets the name Israel because he wrestled against an Angel Of Yahuwa ( The Lord ) . The word Israel is pronounced Yis - Raw - Ale in Aramic / Hebrew and in Ashuric / Syriac ( Arabic ) which means '' El Prevails or Ascending to El '' . He Is Also Blessed By The Angel . This Blessing Was Not A Riligious Blessing , But Simply A < Bawrak > Blessing ' Because Jacob demanded the angel's permission in Genesis 32 ; 26 '' To Let Him Run From His Brother Esau . It was simply a request for him to continue running from his brother Esau . Who He And His Mother Rebecca Stole The < Bekoraw > '' Birthight From According To Genesis 27 ; 5 - 46 . Verse 28 . And he the Eloheem said , Your name will be < Awmar > 'Uttered ' no more as Jacob , but as Israel '' ascend to El ; Because as a < Sawraw > 'Struggler with the Eloheem and with Enosite , and has < Yawkole > Prevailed . Verse 29 . And Jacob asked and said , Tell me I ask of you what is your name ? And he the Eloheem said , '' What are you asking my name for ? And he < Bawrak > Blessed him there . Verse 30 . And Jacob called , the name of the place < Feniel > Penie , because I HAVE < Rawaw > Seen ' the Eloheem < Fawneem > Face ' < Ale > To ' < Fawneem > Face , and my < Nehfesh > Spirit is < Nawtsal > Delivered ' . Verse 31 . And as he < Awbar > Crossed Over ' < Feniel > Penie , the sun appeared to raise upon him and he was < Tsawlah > Limping ' because of his < Yawrake > Thigh . Verse 32 . Therefore the children of Israel < Awkal > Eat ' not of the < Gheed > Muscle which was where he was < Nawsheh > Hit , right on the < Kaf > Calf of the < Yawrake > Thigh ' , to this day , because he < Nawgah > Touched the hollow of Jacob's < Yawrake > Thigh in the < Gheed > Muscle that was < Nawsheh > Hit ..
