Ancient peoples regarded names as indicative of character and
destiny. The Jews were no exception. This is a critical study of
ancient exegesis of the title 'Israel' and the meanings attributed
to it among Jews down to Talmudic times, along with some early
Christian materials. C. T. R. Hayward explores ancient etymologies
of 'Israel', and the utilization of these very varied explanations
of the name in sustained works of exegesis like Jubilees; the
writings of Ben Sira, Philo, and Josephus; and selected Rabbinic
texts including Aramaic Targumim. He also examines translational
works like the Septuagint, to illuminate those writings' sense of
what it meant to be a Jew.
