Hi, I need your help.
Can someone tell me please in what book of the Bible there's the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel?

Thanks a lot!!
 
I post it here, in case some one wants to read it:

GEN 32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok;

GEN 32:23 and he took them and led them over the river, and led over what he had.

GEN 32:24 And Jacob remained alone; and a man wrestled with him until the rising of the dawn.

GEN 32:25 And when he saw that he did not prevail against him, he touched the joint of his thigh; and the joint of Jacob's thigh was dislocated as he wrestled with him.

GEN 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the dawn ariseth. And he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me.

GEN 32:27 And he said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

GEN 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with God, and with men, and hast prevailed.

GEN 32:29 And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.

GEN 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel -- For I have seen God face to face, and my life has been preserved.

GEN 32:31 And as he passed over Peniel, the sun rose upon him; and he limped upon his hip.

GEN 32:32 Therefore the children of Israel do not eat of the sinew that is over the joint of the thigh, to this day; because he touched the joint of Jacob's thigh -- the sinew.
