169. אֶלָּא הֲרֵי נִתְבָּאֵר, ה’ בְּכָל מָקוֹם זֶה רַחֲמִים, וַדַּאי שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא, שְׁמוֹ הוּא ה’, שֶׁכָּתוּב (ישעיה מב) אֲנִי ה’ הוּא שְׁמִי. וְרָאִינוּ שֶׁלִּפְעָמִים נִקְרָא שְׁמוֹ אֱלֹהִים, וְהוּא דִין בְּכָל מָקוֹם. אֶלָּא בִּזְמַן שֶׁמִּתְרַבִּים הַצַּדִּיקִים בָּעוֹלָם, ה’ שְׁמוֹ, וְנִקְרָא בְּשֵׁם הָרַחֲמִים. וּבִזְמַן שֶׁמִּתְרַבִּים הָרְשָׁעִים בָּעוֹלָם, אֱלֹהִים שְׁמוֹ, וְנִקְרָא בְּשֵׁם אֱלֹהִים. כָּךְ בִּזְמַן שֶׁיַּעֲקֹב לֹא הָיָה בֵּין שׂוֹנְאִים וְלֹא הָיָה בְּאֶרֶץ אַחֶרֶת, קָרָא לוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל. וְכַאֲשֶׁר הָיָה בֵּין שׂוֹנְאִים אוֹ בְּאֶרֶץ אַחֶרֶת, קָרָא לוֹ יַעֲקֹב.
170. אָמַר לוֹ, עֲדַיִן לֹא הִתְיַשֵּׁב הַדָּבָר שֶׁכָּתוּב לֹא יִקָּרֵא, וַהֲרֵי אָנוּ קוֹרְאִים לוֹ. וּמַה שֶּׁאָמַרְתָּ שֶׁכְּשֶׁהָיָה בֵּין שׂוֹנְאִים אוֹ בְּאֶרֶץ אַחֶרֶת קָרָא לוֹ יַעֲקֹב – בֹּא רְאֵה, כָּתוּב (בראשית לז) וַיֵּשֶׁב יַעֲקֹב בְּאֶרֶץ מְגוּרֵי אָבִיו בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן, וַהֲרֵי לֹא הָיָה בְּאֶרֶץ אַחֶרֶת?

Zohar Vayishlach
Continued from previous DZ
#169
And he answers: We have learned that wherever the Name YHVH appears, it is certainly mercy. The Holy One, blessed be He, YHVH is His Name, as it is written: “אֲנִי יְהוָה הוּא שְׁמִי”, “I am YHVH, that is My Name” (Isaiah 42:8). Yet we see that sometimes His Name is called Elohim, which is judgment wherever it appears.
Rather, when the righteous multiply in the world, His Name is YHVH, and He is called by the Name of mercy. When the wicked multiply in the world, His Name is Elohim, and He is called by the Name Elohim. So too: when Jacob was not among enemies and was not outside the Land, they called him Israel. When he was among enemies or outside the Land, they called him Jacob.
Notes:
YHVH always signifies mercy, while Elohim signifies judgment. The divine Name revealed depends on the world’s spiritual state: YHVH with the righteous, Elohim with the wicked. Jacob’s two names follow the same principle: Israel (the Name of mercy and completion) when in safety and in the Land; Jacob when among enemies or in exile (state of judgment).

#170
He said to him: The matter is still not settled, for it is
written “לֹא יִקָּרֵא שִׁמְךָ עוֹד יַעֲקֹב”, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob” (Genesis 35:10), yet we still call him Jacob.
And what you say — that when he was among enemies or outside the Land they called him Jacob — come and see: it is
written “וַיֵּשֶׁב יַעֲקֹב בְּאֶרֶץ מְגוּרֵי אָבִיו בְּאֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן”, “And Jacob dwelt in the land where his father had sojourned, the land of Canaan” (Genesis 37:1). He was not outside the Land, yet the Name Jacob is still used.
Notes:
He challenges the previous explanation: even after the divine promise that “Jacob’s Name would no longer be Jacob, and even when he was safely living in the Land of Canaan, Scripture continues to call him Jacob. This sharpens the question about the permanent change to Israel.
