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: (Hebrew), Israel, surname of Jacob, then the Jewish people, the people of God. Meaning: Israel; the name given to the patriarch Jacob after wrestling with the angel, and subsequently used to denote his descendants and the nation formed by them. Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3478 יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisra'el): The Hebrew origin of the name Israel, used extensively throughout the Old Testament to refer to Jacob, the nation of Israel, and the people of Israel. Usage: The term Ἰσραήλ is used in the New Testament to refer to the people of Israel, the nation of Israel, and sometimes symbolically to denote the spiritual descendants of Jacob. It appears in various contexts, including genealogical, theological, and eschatological discussions. Context: The name Ἰσραήλ holds significant theological and historical importance within the biblical narrative. It first appears in Genesis 32:28, where Jacob is renamed Israel after wrestling with a divine being. This event marks a transformation in Jacob's life and signifies his role as the progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel. In the New Testament, Ἰσραήλ is used to refer to the Jewish people, emphasizing their unique covenant relationship with God. For instance, in Romans 9:4, Paul speaks of the Israelites as those "to whom belong the adoption as sons, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the temple service, and the promises." This highlights the special status and responsibilities of Israel in God's redemptive plan. The term also appears in eschatological contexts, such as in Romans 11:26, where Paul declares, "And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: 'The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove godlessness from Jacob.'" This passage reflects the belief in a future restoration and salvation of Israel. Additionally, Ἰσραήλ is used symbolically in the New Testament to refer to the spiritual Israel, or the true people of God, which includes both Jews and Gentiles who have faith in Jesus Christ. This is seen in Galatians 6:16, where Paul refers to the "Israel of God."
