Genesis 32:28

The man said, "You shall no longer be called Jacob (deceiver), but Israel, for you have struggled with both God (Elohim) and men and prevailed (survived)."
[The name Israel has several meanings: "to fight against God" or "God fights for us," "God reigns" or "we reign together with God." In Hebrew, the names Jacob and Israel are completely different except for one letter that they have in common, namely the letter yod. This is the smallest of all Hebrew letters and therefore often symbolizes humility. This reinforces that the only thing left of the old Jacob is his humility; he needed to be emptied of his own pride. Jacob wrestled with God and in the process became humble. On that basis, he becomes Israel, an honest man and a ruler together with God who triumphs! See also Hos. 12:3–4.]
