¹⁵And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

²⁸And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

⁹Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

⁹Then said God, Call his name Loammi: for ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.

¹Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
