The statement that the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is his name suggests that the God who appeared to Jacob at Peniel and renewed covenant is the one with whom Israel must contend. The invocation of God's name (LORD, God of hosts) emphasizes divine power and faithfulness. This verse grounds Israel's hope in the God who revealed himself to Jacob and who remains faithful to covenant despite Israel's apostasy.
