It signifies one who has struggled with God and humans and has prevailed. The name is subsequently used to refer to the descendants of Jacob, the nation of Israel, and the land promised to them by God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Israel is central to the biblical narrative as the chosen people of God, through whom He reveals His laws, covenants, and ultimately, the Messiah. The nation of Israel is established through the twelve tribes, descendants of Jacob's sons. Throughout history, Israel's relationship with God is marked by periods of faithfulness and rebellion, leading to exile and restoration. The land of Israel is considered sacred, being the site of significant biblical events and prophecies.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
