Study Note

The renaming of Jacob to Israel — 'for you have striven with God and with humans and have prevailed' — is the etiological climax of one of the most enigmatic narratives in the Hebrew Bible (Genesis 32:22–32). The name 'Israel' (Yisra'el) is interpreted in the text as 'he who strives with God' (yisreh + El), though modern scholars debate whether the root involves striving, ruling, or persevering. The unnamed divine antagonist (later read as the angel of the LORD, a pre-incarnate theophany, or the personification of Jacob's own struggle) dislocates Jacob's hip — a wounding that becomes the community's dietary memorial (verse 32). Hosea 12:3–4 recalls this episode as a defining moment for Israel's identity, suggesting the story was central to early Israelite self-understanding.
