יִשְׂרָאֵל

Yisrâʼêl · Hebrew · Strong's H3479 · 8 occurrences

The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “israel”

What it means

{Jisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity}

(Aramaic) corresponding to H3478 (יִשְׂרָאֵל)

How the KJV renders it

israel

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

israel
also renders Israḗl (G2474), Yisrâʼêl (H3478)
