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

Deseret Alphabet: 𐐆𐐞𐐡𐐈𐐇𐐢 (ɪzræɛl), 𐐈𐐞𐐡𐐈𐐇𐐢 (æzræɛl), 𐐌𐐞𐐡𐐈𐐇𐐢 (aɪzræɛl)
