And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day.When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, "I will not let you go unless you bless me."And he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed."Then Jacob asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And there he blessed him.

highlighted Genesis 29:10-35 ESV
Now as soon as Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob came near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.Then Jacob kissed Rachel and wept aloud.And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's kinsman, and that he was Rebekah's son, and she ran and told her father.As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things,and Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh!" And he stayed with him a month.Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my kinsman, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"Now Laban had two daughters. The name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and appearance.Jacob loved Rachel. And he said, "I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel."Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to any other man; stay with me."So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they seemed to him but a few days because of the love he had for her.Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my time is completed."So Laban gathered together all the people of the place and made a feast.But in the evening he took his daughter Leah and brought her to Jacob, and he went in to her.(Laban gave his female servant Zilpah to his daughter Leah to be her servant.)And in the morning, behold, it was Leah! And Jacob said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Did I not serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"Laban said, "It is not so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also in return for serving me another seven years."Jacob did so, and completed her week. Then Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to be his wife.(Laban gave his female servant Bilhah to his daughter Rachel to be her servant.)So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and he loved Rachel more than Leah, and served Laban for another seven years.When the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben, for she said, "Because the Lord has looked upon my affliction; for now my husband will love me."She conceived again and bore a son, and said, "Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given me this son also." And she called his name Simeon.Again she conceived and bore a son, and said, "Now this time my husband will be attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore his name was called Levi.And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, "This time I will praise the Lord." Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she ceased bearing.
