Exo 34:20 …"No one is to appear before me without an offering. “
Well, well, a very good reminder during the tithes and offering part of the worship service.
Chapter 34 talks a lot about rituals and offerings and feasts. Maybe a lot of nonsense today but writing down these specifications down is an order that came from God.
Exo 34:27 The LORD said to Moses, "Write these words down, because it is on the basis of these words that I am making a covenant with you and with Israel."
These rituals, offerings and feasts serves as a reminder to the Israelites of their covenant with God.

And he said unto him, What [is] thy name? And he said, Jacob.
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
And Jacob asked [him], and said, Tell [me], I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore [is] it [that] thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
