Genesis 32:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 32:29

27 So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”

28 And He said, ^a“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but¹ Israel; for you have ^bstruggled with God and ^cwith men, and have prevailed.”

29 Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, ^a“Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He ^bblessed him there.

30 So Jacob called the name of the place¹ Peniel: “For ^aI have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.”

31 Just as he crossed over¹ Penuel the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.
