Jacob wrestled with a divine emissary till dawn and refused to let go until receiving a blessing. The "mysterious stranger" christened Jacob with a spiritually derived name-change: "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Yisrael; for you have struggled (striven) with God and with men, and you've prevailed." (Genesis 32: 28)
