Genesis 32:24-26
32:24 So Jacob was left alone. Then a man
wrestled
with him until daybreak.

saw that he could not defeat Jacob,
he struck
the socket of his hip so the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
32:26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” “I will not let you go,” Jacob replied, “unless you bless me.”
