and Ya'akov was left alone. Then some man wrestled with him until daybreak.

When he saw that he did not defeat Ya'akov, he struck Ya'akov's hip socket, so that his hip was dislocated while wrestling with him.

The man said, "Let me go, because it's daybreak." But Ya'akov replied, "I won't let you go unless you bless me."

The man asked, "What is your name?" and he answered, "Ya'akov."

Then the man said, "From now on, you will no longer be called Ya'akov, but Isra'el; because you have shown your strength to both God and men and have prevailed."

Ya'akov asked him, "Please tell me your name." But he answered, "Why are you asking about my name?" and blessed him there.

ADONAI would speak to Moshe face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. Then he would return to the camp; but the young man who was his assistant, Y'hoshua the son of Nun, never left the inside of the tent.

Moshe said to ADONAI, "Look, you say to me, 'Make these people move on!' But you haven't let me know whom you will be sending with me. Nevertheless you have said, 'I know you by name,' and also, 'You have found favor in my sight.'

Now, please, if it is really the case that I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways; so that I will understand you and continue finding favor in your sight. Moreover, keep on seeing this nation as your people."

He answered, "Set your mind at rest - my presence will go with you, after all."

Moshe replied, "If your presence doesn't go with us, don't make us go on from here.

For how else is it to be known that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people, other than by your going with us? That is what distinguishes us, me and your people, from all the other peoples on earth."

ADONAI said to Moshe, "I will also do what you have asked me to do, because you have found favor in my sight, and I know you by name."

But Moshe said, "I beg you to show me your glory!"

He replied, "I will cause all my goodness to pass before you, and in your presence I will pronounce the name of ADONAI. Moreover, I show favor to whomever I will, and I display mercy to whomever I will.

But my face," he continued, "you cannot see, because a human being cannot look at me and remain alive.

Here," he said, "is a place near me; stand on the rock.

When my glory passes by, I will put you inside a crevice in the rock and cover you with my hand, until I have passed by.

Then I will remove my hand, and you will see my back, but my face is not to be seen."

honey, curdled milk, sheep and cheese made of cow's milk for David and the people with him to eat; because they said, "These people are hungry, tired and thirsty from the desert."
