And God {H430} said {H559} unto him, Thy name {H8034} is Jacob {H3290}: thy name {H8034} shall not be called {H7121} any more Jacob {H3290}, but Israel {H3478} shall be thy name {H8034}: and he called {H7121} his name {H8034} Israel {H3478}.

God said to him, "Your name is Ya'akov, but you will be called Ya'akov no longer; your name will be Isra'el."Thus he named him Isra'el.

And God said to him, “Though your name is Jacob, you will no longer be called Jacob. Instead, your name will be Israel.” So God named him Israel.

And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
