And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Y le dijo: 'Tu nombre ya no será Jacob, sino Israel, porque como un príncipe has luchado con Dios y con los hombres, y has vencido.'
Dios le cambió el nombre a Jacob por Israel porque había luchado con Él y había prevalecido.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Jacob was returning to his homeland after years of exile, fearing a reunion with his brother Esau whom he had previously deceived and cheated. That night at the Jabbok River, he wrestled with a mysterious divine figure, often interpreted as God Himself, in a physical and spiritual struggle that lasted until dawn. As a result, God changed Jacob's name to Israel, symbolizing his transformation from a schemer to one who has contended with God and prevailed, marking a key moment in the story of God's covenant people.
