Genesis 32:28-30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,”(A) He said. “It will be Israel[a] because you have struggled with God(B) and with men and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked Him, “Please tell me Your name.”
But He answered, “Why do you ask My name?”(C) And He blessed him there.
30 Jacob then named the place Peniel,[b] “For I have seen God face to face,” he said, “and I have been delivered.”(D)
