Strong's Lexicon
Israél: Israel

Original Word: Ἰσραήλ
Part of Speech: Proper Noun, Indeclinable
Transliteration: Israél
Pronunciation: ees-rah-ale'
Phonetic Spelling: (is-rah-ale')
Definition: Israel
Meaning: (Hebrew), Israel, surname of Jacob, then the Jewish people, the people of God.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el)

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H3478 יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el)

Usage: In the New Testament, "Israel" refers to the nation or people of Israel, the descendants of Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel after wrestling with God (Genesis 32:28). It is used to denote the ethnic, cultural, and religious identity of the Jewish people. The term also carries theological significance, representing God's chosen people and His covenant relationship with them.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name "Israel" originates from the patriarch Jacob, who was renamed Israel after his encounter with God. The twelve tribes of Israel descended from his sons, forming the nation of Israel. Throughout the Old Testament, Israel is depicted as God's chosen people, set apart to follow His laws and serve as a light to the nations. In the New Testament, the term continues to signify the Jewish people, but it also expands to include the spiritual Israel, encompassing all who believe in Christ, both Jew and Gentile.
