Genesis 32:26-28
Holman Christian Standard Bible
26 Then He said to Jacob, “Let Me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me.”
27 “What is your name?” the man asked.
“Jacob,” he replied.
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.”
