KEY WORD(S): WRESTL(ED); WRESTLINGS


GENESIS 30:  1, 8

1 Now when Rachel saw that she bore
 Jacob no children, Rachel envied her 
sister ( LEAH), and said to Jacob,
“Give me children, or else I die!”

8 Then Rachel said, “With 

great wrestlings,

I have wrestled with my

sister, and indeed I have 

prevailed.” So she called

his name Naphtali.

22 Then God remembered 

Rachel, and God listened 

to her and opened her 

womb. 

23 And she 

conceived and bore a son, 

and said, “God has taken 

away my reproach.” 

24 So she called his 

name Joseph, and 

said, “The Lord shall add 

to me another son.”

GENESIS 32: 23-28, 30

24 Then Jacob was left 

alone; and a Man wrestled 

with him until the breaking 

of day.

25 Now when He saw that 

He did not prevail against 

him, He touched the socket

 of his hip; and the socket 

of Jacob’s hip was out of 

joint as He wrestled with 

him.

26 And He said, “Let Me 

go, for the day breaks.”

But he said, “I will not let

 You go unless You bless 

me!”

27 So He said to him, 

“What is your name?”

He said, “Jacob.”

28 And He said, “Your name 

shall no longer be called 

Jacob, but Israel; for you 

have struggled with God 

and with men, and have 

prevailed.”

30 So Jacob called the 

name of the place Peniel: 

“For I have seen God face 

to face, and my life is 

preserved.”

EPHESIANS 6: 12

For we do 

not wrestle against flesh

 and blood, but against 

principalities, against 

powers, against the rulers 

of the darkness of this age, 

against spiritual hosts of

 wickedness in the 

heavenly places.
