Genesis 32:2
βAnd when Jacob saw them, he said, This is Godβs host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 32Meaning
Jacob responds to the angelic encounter by naming the place Mahanaim, commonly associated with the idea of two camps.
Read carefully
The place-name belongs to this scene; speculative maps of invisible camps or universal spiritual formulas go beyond what the verse states.
Reflection
Jacob names the place so that the encounter becomes remembered within the geography of his difficult return.
