God made a covenant with Jacob twice. He all promised to Jacob and his descendants prosperity. Meanwhile, Jacob set up a stone pillar at the place where God had talked with him and poured out a drink offering on it.

What features these two covenants is that in the former one Jacob claimed, "…of all that you give me I will give you a tenth" (Ge 28: 22) and in the latter covenant God gave Jacob a new name—Israel, meaning "May God prevail."

The new name aimed to remind Jacob of the ups and downs in life. No one can be freed from trials. We suffer, struggle, but God will ultimately prevail.
