From the Paper:
"The purpose of this research is to provide an exegesis of a portion of Genesis regarding the meanings and implications of the change of Jacob's name to Israel. The plan of the research will be to set forth the background and context of the events in which the name change is described, and then to discuss ways in which the change reaches narrative and theological meaning for the writers of Genesis and the audience at which the book was directed.Jacob's name change is specifically cited in two places in Genesis, at 32:23-31, when the angel that Jacob wrestles with says that Jacob's future name will be Israel, and at 35:10-12, when God appears to Jacob and more formally blesses him and designates the change. The most important feature of the background of and context for these passages is the status of Jacob.."
