27 Then the man asked, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
28 (A) The man said, “From now on, your name will no longer be Jacob. You will be called Israel,[a] because you have wrestled with God and with men, and you have won.”
29 (B) Jacob said, “Now tell me your name.”
“Don't you know who I am?” he asked. And he blessed Jacob.
