In Bethel, God once again changes Jacob&#8217;s name to Israel, a change already made in Penuel (Genesis Chapter 32). Why is it necessary to change Jacob\u2019s name again? During the process of the name change, \u00a0three times the text repeats the phrase \u201cthe place where He had spoken to him.\u201d Rashi on this phrase in Genesis 35:13 says, &#8220;I do not know what this is meant to teach us.&#8221; We have learned a lot (or we should have learned a lot) from this humble commentator not just about the text itself but also about humility and the ability to say simply &#8220;I do not know.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nevertheless, one can see a connection between the recurring story of Jacob&#8217;s name change and the repetitive expression \u201cthe spot where He had spoken to him.&#8221; In Penuel the name change involved a physical struggle with the angel. Here the name change is done by direct a revelation and by speech only. The triple repetition of the expression was meant to emphasize that this time speech was sufficient. Any change, whether of a name, practice, behavior, or essential quality is not simple. It often requires a hard struggle that can sometimes be dragged into an unfair injury of the hip. But down the road, once can effect a change by speech alone, and the change will be accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":{"ID":86459,"id":86459,"title":"ps87-words","filename":"ps87-words.jpg","filesize":0,"url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words.jpg","link":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/awakened-by-the-faith-bird\/ps87-words\/","alt":"","author":"7","description":"","caption":"","name":"ps87-words","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":86449,"date":"2021-01-12 08:50:10","modified":"2022-03-23 15:57:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words-300x200.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words-768x512.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words-1024x683.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1280,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words-1200x800.jpg","post_full_size-width":1200,"post_full_size-height":800,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/ps87-words-630x420.jpg","home_baner-width":630,"home_baner-height":420}},"embedded_video":"","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"Change Happening in Deed -
