Going to be teaching on Genesis 32 tonight where Jacob’s name is changed to Israel. And, I just started trying to recall some significant name changes in the Bible off the top of my head for illustration purposes. Here goes:
- Abram -> Abraham
- Sarai -> Sarah
- Jacob -> Israel
- Joseph -> Zaphenath-paneah
- Ben-Oni -> Benjamin
- Simon -> Peter
- Saul -> Paul
Well, there it is in case anyone ever asks you to list 7 name changes in the Bible or if you ever need them for illustration.
