No more Jacob, not Jacob only. See the like manner of expression 1Sa_8:7 Jer_23:7 Joh_7:16 1Co_1:17.
Israel signifies a prince or prevailer with God; or, a prince of God, i.e. a great prince and conqueror. Thou hast in some sort conquered both God in this conflict and men, Laban, Esau, &c.,
and hast prevailed; or, and shalt prevail over Esau, of whom thou art afraid.
