“And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God’s host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.”
When Jacob saw them, he said: this is the camp of God! So he named that place Mahanaim. Mahanaim means two camps. The naming of the place from the divine encounter is the pattern Jacob has followed since Bethel. The application: the places where you encounter the divine presence are worth naming. Jacob names every site of significant divine meeting.
