Genesis 32:27-29
Christian Standard Bible
27 “What is your name?” the man asked.
“Jacob,” he replied.
28 “Your name will no longer be Jacob,”(A) he said. “It will be Israel[a] because you have struggled with God(B) and with men and have prevailed.”
29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.”
But he answered, “Why do you ask my name?” (C) And he blessed him there.
