Genesis 32:28-30

28“No longer will your name be Jacob,” the man told him, “but Israel, because you have fought with God and with men and have prevailed.”

29Then Jacob asked, “Please tell me your name.” “Why do you ask my name?” the man replied. Then he blessed Jacob there.

30So Jacob named the place Peniel, explaining, “Certainly I have seen God face to face and have survived.”
