Chapters of
Rabbi Eliezer. Chapter 37.4
Again the angel said to him: "Let me go" (Gen. 32:26). Jacob
answered him: I will not let thee go until thou hast blessed me; and he blessed
him, as it is said, "And he blessed him there" (Gen. 32:29). Again he
said to him: "Let me go" (Gen. 32:26). He answered him: I will not
let thee go until thou tellest me what thy name is. And (the angel) called his
name Israel like his own name, for his own name was called Israel. Jacob wished
to prevail over the angel, and to throw him down upon the earth. What did the
angel do? He took hold of the sinew of the hip, which was upon the hollow of
Jacob's thigh, and he lifted the sinew of his hip (out of its place), and it
became like the fat of the dead. Therefore the children of Israel are forbidden
to eat of the sinew of the hip which is upon the hollow of the animal's thigh,
as it is said, "Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the
hip which is upon the hollow of the thigh" (Gen. 32:32). (Transl. by G.
Friedlander (1916); original source: sefaria.org & 1916FriedlanderG, pp. 282-283).
