Genesis 32:3
"When he saw them, Jacob said, “This is God’s army.” He called the name of that place Mahanaim."
Key Reflection
Jacob's declaration that the angelic hosts he encountered were "God's army" signifies a recognition of divine protection and strength. By naming the place Mahanaim, meaning "Two Encampments," Jacob acknowledges both his own and God's armies, emphasizing the dual presence of heavenly and earthly support in his journey.
