Genesis 32:28-30

28And He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

29Then Jacob asked Him, “Please tell me Your name.” But He said, “Why is it that you ask My name?” And He declared a blessing [of the covenant promises] on Jacob there.

30So Jacob named the place Peniel (the face of God), saying, “For I have seen God face to face, yet my life has not been snatched away.”
