Both Testaments
Israel
The name given to Jacob by God, later designating the twelve tribes and the covenant nation of God's people.
Israel refers primarily to the patriarch Jacob after his encounter with God at Peniel, where he was renamed for wrestling with the Divine. The name subsequently identifies his descendants, the twelve tribes, and the nation established through the Mosaic covenant. It serves as a central theological identity throughout Scripture, representing both the physical lineage of the patriarch and the spiritual community of God's chosen people.
