What does Genesis 35:10 mean?

God said, 'Your name is Jacob, but that's not who you'll be anymore. From now on, you'll be called Israel.' So God gave him the name Israel. Genesis 35:10 - Modern Text Bible

(God changes Jacob's name to Israel, marking a new identity and future for him. This is a turning point, showing Jacob's life is now defined by his relationship with God.)
