Genesis 32:28-30
New International Version
28 Then the man said, “Your name(A) will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,[a](B) because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”(C)
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”(D)
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?”(E) Then he blessed(F) him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,[b] saying, “It is because I saw God face to face,(G) and yet my life was spared.”
