Genesis 32:28 (King James Version)
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
- Thy name
- Genesis 17:5 Genesis 17:15 33:20 35:10 Numbers 13:16 ; 2 Samuel 12:25 ; 2 Kings 17:34 ; Isaiah 62:2-4
- Isaiah 65:15 ; John 1:42 ; Revelation 2:17
- Israel
- i.e., a prince of God. as a prince.
- Or, according to the LXX., Vulgate, Houbigant, Dathe, and Rosenmuller, "because thou hast power with God, thou shalt also prevail with men." There is a beautiful antithesis between the two terms, with [Elohim,] {Elohim,} god, the Almighty, with [anashim,] {anashim,} weak, feeble men, as the word imports; seeing thou hast had power with the Almighty, surely thou shalt prevail over perishing mortals.
