Genesis 32:28-30

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁸ Then the man^[a] said, “You shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,^[b] for you have striven with God and with humans,^[c] and have prevailed.” ²⁹ Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, “Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. ³⁰ So Jacob called the place Peniel,^[d] saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life is preserved.”
