A little later, after meeting his brother Esau, whom he had feared, Jacob went to Shalem, where he bought land and built an altar, calling the place El-elohe-Israel.
There is substantial evidence in The Bible itself that Jacob was originally a moon god before the story evolved into one of a human Patriarch, so when he wrestled all night with the god who blessed him and changed his name to Israel, this could have originated as the daily struggle in which the sun god defeats the moon god at dawn, after the moon god had prevailed all night. And not only was Jacob likely to have once been a moon god, but his twin brother and constant rival (even before birth), Esau, was likely to have been the sun god in the earliest version of their story. If so, the 'man' who wrestled with Jacob was another incarnation of his own brother, Esau.
The name Israel (Yisra'el) is commonly translated as "Wrestled with God", but it can also mean "Champion (or Prince) of God", "Striver with (or against) God", "Ruler (or Prince) over God", "God Prevails", "God Rules", "God will Rule", or possibly "God Who will Rule".
Later, Jacob went to Bethel, where he had previously fled from his brother Esau. In an apparently independent account Genesis 35:10-12), because God did not seem to know that Jacob had already been renamed Israel, God appeared to Jacob and told him that his name would no longer be Jacob, but instead be Israel, and that he would father a great nation in fulfilment of the covenant with Abraham and Isaac.
What else can I help you with?
What was Esau doing when Jacob stole his blessing?
Esau was out hunting game to prepare a meal for his father, Isaac, fulfilling his father's request before giving him his blessing. Meanwhile, Jacob, at his mother Rebekah's urging, deceived Isaac by pretending to be Esau and received the blessing intended for the older brother.
Did the northern kingdom of Israel have more kings who were godly?
According to the Books of Kings, written in the southern kingdom, Judah, every king of the northern kingdom, Israel, was absolutely polytheistic. If the term 'godly' is meant to imply service to the God of Judaism, then the evidence is that Israel and its kings were certainly not godly.

What is the tribal confederacy and why is it important in the Old Testament?
The tribal confederacy was the organization of the twelve tribes. (Based on the descendents of Jacob.) Joshua established this at Schechem. If you were to read the Old Testament, you would see constant references to some tribe doing something or someone being from a particular tribe. This is important to Messianic prophecies, as the Messiah was to come from the tribe of Judah. The tribal confederacy in particular was kind of like a pact, where the tribes bound themselves together as Israel. They would not act as individual families or city-states, but as one nation together, with a common ancestor and a common God. This confederacy is later broken when the people split into the Southern Kingdom of Judah (composed of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin) and the Northern Kingdom of Israel (made up of everyone else).
Is resurrection Mary true?
No. Some people believe that the 'woman' in Revelation 12, who is in Heaven, who gave birth to a 'male Child' (ie: Jesus) is Mary, who was bodily 'assumed' into Heaven. However, later in this same chapter, this same 'woman' is being chased by a dragon (ie: Satan) in the wilderness. If this 'woman' is Mary 'assumed' into Heaven, then what is she doing later in the wilderness being chased by Satan? The 'woman' in Revelation 12 is NOT Mary, nor does it represent her 'assumption' into Heaven. This 'woman' is Israel, which is evident by the fact that she is described in Revelation 12:1 as "clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." This description of Israel is described in a dream by Joseph, the son of Jacob, in Genesis 37:5-10. The reason why this 'woman' (Israel, the nation that the 'male Child,' Jesus was 'born' out of) is later being chased by Satan in the wilderness, is because this is a future event in the middle of the 7 year Tribulation period, after the Church is raptured, & God's focus is again on Israel. Hope this helps! :)
Of the 12 tribes two of them were not his who were the other 2?
The answer below is correct. When Israel (Jacob) came to Egypt, he "adopted" into his clan two of his grandsons, the two eldest sons of Joseph named Ephraim and Manasseh. In doing so, Israel (Jacob) increase the 12 tribes of Israel to 13. This is because rather than simply adding in two more portions, Joseph was given a double portion. Joseph's descendants received two portions of the inheritance (in Ephraim and Manasseh) while the other eleven tribes received only one portion. Ephraim and Manasseh

For a report on Israel does that mean can write about Jesus?
you do not say whether you are doing a report on modern Israel or ancient Israel, nor whether this is for history class or scripture class. Israel did not really exist at the time of Jesus, since it was destroyed more than 700 years earlier. Depending on how old you are, a history class may want you to talk about Israel before that date, or the new state of Israel in the 20th and 21st centuries, but not about Judah and Galilee. A religious class may make allowance for regarding Judah and Galilee, the territories associated with Jesus, as synonyms of Israel, even though this is not strictly true.
Why does Hezbollah hate the U.S.?
Hezbollah is founded as an organization dedicated to the removal of the State of Israel. In their view, the land of Israel was stolen from the Muslims who lived there: the Palestinians. They are doing everything militarily in their power to have the State of Israel wiped off the map. The main country preventing them from doing so (aside from Israel) is the United States, which supports the Israeli government and helps to fund their defense industry.
