9 After Jacob had returned from Paddan-aram (northwest Mesopotamia), God {Elohim} appeared to him (he grasps the heel) again and blessed him.

10 And God {Elohim} said to him, “Though your name is Jacob (he grasps the heel), you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel (he wrestles with God). So God named him Israel.
