Jacob wrestles with the angel and has his name changed to Israel

Event c. 1739 BC Chronological estimate ⓘ

Then Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When he saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob’s thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with him. Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But he said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." (GEN 32:24-26)
