Thematic Bible: Name of, changed to "israel,"


Thematic Bible



“Your name will no longer be Jacob,” He said. “It will be Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

God said to him:

Your name is Jacob;
you will no longer be named Jacob,
but your name will be Israel.


So He named him Israel.
