‏ Genesis 35:10

10God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob; Israel will be your name.” So God named him Israel. ▼
▼tn Heb “and he called his name Israel.” The referent of the pronoun “he” (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
▼
▼sn The name Israel means “God fights” (although some interpret the meaning as “he fights [with] God”). See Gen 32:28.
