And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
Dios le dijo: 'Tu nombre es Jacob, pero ya no te llamarás Jacob. De ahora en adelante, tu nombre será Israel.' Y Dios le puso por nombre Israel.

📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Jacob was originally named for his birth, where he grasped his twin brother Esau's heel, symbolizing deception and trickery that marked his early life. After a transformative encounter with God, including wrestling with an angel, God renamed him Israel, meaning "he struggles with God," to signify his new identity and blessing as the father of a nation. This event occurred as Jacob was returning to his homeland, reconciling with his past and preparing for God's promises to unfold.
