'''Etymology'''
'''Etymology'''


For the etymology see the standard biblical commentaries.
'''ISRAEL''', the other name of [[JACOB|J<small>ACOB</small>]] and the northern kingdom of the [[ISRAELITES|I<small>SRAELITES</small>]], does not refer to a person or place in the Book of Mormon. The Hebrew name ''Yisraʾel'' may mean "God fights; rules; shines; heals" (''HALOT'' s.v. [[ISRAEL|I<small>SRAEL</small>]]). [[ISRAEL|I<small>SRAEL</small>]] may also be mentiioned in the Merneptah Stele 1.27, where we read that "Israel ([[EGYPTIAN(S)|E<small>GYPTIAN</small>]] ''I.si.ri.ʾar'', with foreign person/people determinative) is laid waste ([[EGYPTIAN(S)|E<small>GYPTIAN</small>]] ''fk.t'') and his seed is not,"<ref>W.M. Flinders Petrie and Wilhelm Spiegelberg, ''Six Temples at Thebes: 1896'' (London: Quaritch, 1897); cf. Dermot Nestor, ''Cognitive Perspective on Israelite Identity'' (Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 1998), 96-97.</ref> although it may also refer to another people or place.'''Variants'''

Etymology

ISRAEL, the other name of JACOB and the northern kingdom of the ISRAELITES, does not refer to a person or place in the Book of Mormon. The Hebrew name Yisraʾel may mean "God fights; rules; shines; heals" (HALOT s.v. ISRAEL). ISRAEL may also be mentiioned in the Merneptah Stele 1.27, where we read that "Israel (EGYPTIAN I.si.ri.ʾar, with foreign person/people determinative) is laid waste (EGYPTIAN fk.t) and his seed is not,"[1] although it may also refer to another people or place.Variants
