Beware that the word Israel is overloaded with multiple definitions. Israel is: a) The name the patriarch Jacob was given after his Wrestling match at the Ford of Jabbok, meaning literally that he wrestled with God. b) A contraction of the phrase "benei Israel" (the Children of Israel), referring to the 12 tribes descended from Jacob in their wanderings in the desert. c) A contraction of the phrase "am Israel" (the people or nation of Israel). referring to the entire Jewish community, as a whole. d) A contraction of the phrase "eretz Israel" (the land of Israel), referring to the historical land of Israel, roughly the borders of the kingdom of Solomon. e) A contraction of the phrase "mendinat Israel" (the state of Israel), referring to the political and geographic entity that was created in 1948 as a Jewish homeland. Generally, you need to listen carefully to context to know which meaning of the word is implied.
