Genesis 32:28-30
EasyEnglish Bible

28 Then the man said, ‘Your name will not be Jacob any longer. Your name will now be Israel.[a] That is because you have fought with God and you have fought with men. And you have won!’

29 Then Jacob said, ‘Please tell me your name.’ But the man said, ‘Why do you want to know my name?’ Then he blessed Jacob in that place. 30 So Jacob called the place Peniel.[b] He said, ‘I have seen God face to face, and I am still alive!’

Footnotes

  1. 32:28 Israel probably means ‘he fights with God’. God changed Jacob's name to give him a new beginning.
  2. 32:30 Peniel means ‘face of God’.
