Genesis 32:28-30

28And he said, Thy name shall not henceforth be called Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast wrestled with 1God, and with men, and hast prevailed.

29And Jacob asked and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, How is it that thou askest after my name? And he blessed him there.

30And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel — For I have seen 2God face to face, and my life has been preserved.
