'Call' in the Bible
After the LORD God formed from the ground every wild animal and every bird that flies, he brought each of them to the man to see what he would call it. Whatever the man called each living creature became its name.
God told Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you are not to call her Sarai any longer, because her name is to be Sarah.
But they said, "We'll call the young lady and see what she has to say about this."
Later on, the men of that place asked about his wife, so he replied, "She's my sister," because he was afraid to call her "my wife." He kept thinking, ""otherwise, the men around here will kill me on account of Rebekah, since she's very beautiful."
She said, "How happy I am, because women will call me happy!" So she named him Asher.
Jacob would later call that place Peniel, because "I saw God face to face, but my life was spared."
