Bible Question: Jacob/Israel
As you come to Gen. chapters 37 and on, the name Jacob and Israel are alternating in no specific pattern. Why did God use his name interchangeably in these chapters?

Bible Answer: Greetings PJC,

I apologize, the Lord Himself did not change Saul's name to Paul, but Saul was also called Paul (Acts 13:9), and used Paul as his name after he was saved and commissioned by the Lord in Acts 9.

Blessings to you,

Makarios
