Parallel

Genesis 35:10

Berean Standard Bible · Westminster Leningrad Codex

And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob (note: Jacob means he grasps the heel or he deceives.), you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel (note: Israel means he struggles with God.).” So God named him Israel.
וַיֹּֽאמֶר־ ל֥וֹ אֱלֹהִ֖ים שִׁמְךָ֣ יַעֲקֹ֑ב לֹֽא־ יִקָּרֵא֩ שִׁמְךָ֙ ע֜וֹד יַעֲקֹ֗ב כִּ֤י אִם־ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִהְיֶ֣ה שְׁמֶ֔ךָ וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־ שְׁמ֖וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
