27 The man asked him, |What is your name?| He answered, |Jacob.| 28 No longer will your name be Jacob,| the man told him, |but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed.| 29 Then Jacob asked, |Please tell me your name.| |Why do you ask my name?| the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there. Genesis 32:27-29, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
