When Jacob returned to Canaan before he met his brother Esau he wrestled with God on a mount. He wouldn't let God go without receiving a blessing. God called him Israel. Jacob, now Israel, called that mount Peniel. Joel P. Kramer provides in this video a retelling of this event from an archeological perspective. In the comments I will place a link to a map from Bible Mapper of the path of Jacob's return to Canaan. https://youtu.be/3qlfi6doRJI
