But as <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Hashem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Hashem</a> calls to him in a dream, he is referred to by his old name, <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Yaakov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Yaakov</a> (twice, in fact). Why the old name? And why twice?
