    		Genesis 32:24

    'And Jacob was left {alone;} and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day'.

    32:28



    'And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.'

    'Israel' means, 'He struggles with God'.
