Best Answer

Jacob encounters a stranger; unknown whether to be a man, an angel, or even maybe a demon. The stranger wrestles with Jacob until the break of day, when Jacob asks for a blessing in exchange for the stranger being released. The stranger asks his name, and when Jacob responds, the stranger says that from now on her would be known as Israel.
