jacob for all the twists of character apparent in him valued the covenant he had a heart for the things of god finally how ever we must say that god chose jacob not for what he was but for what he would make of him jacob in the hands of god became israel esau re mained esau the fleshly man verse by verse gen 3224 jacob was left alone and there wrestled a man with him having superin tended the passage of the whole caravan over the brook he was alone with his thoughts and god the man here is called the angel in hosea 124 and is identified with god verse 25 he touched the hollow of his thigh jacobs thigh was out of joint ja cobs resistance required an in firmity which made further wrestling futile the asv has strained in place of out of joint verse 26 let me go i will not let thee go except thou bless me why the pass age of jabbok was effected in the nighttime we do not know unless it was to hide his move ments from any spy of esau the wrestling then was in the latter part of the night and until day began to break then wrest ling gave way to clinging verse 27 what is thy name jacob he had feigned a false name to his father twenty years before now he acknowledges his own name perhaps in a spirit of confession of what the name meant sup- planter verse 28 no more jacob i but israel a prince i i power with god and with men j the name israel signifies striv- i ing with god or as some pre i fer prince of god both ideas are doubtless in the word it was his wrestling that won him the title verse 29 tell me thy name wherefore and he blessed him there com pare judges 1318 asv where the reason given for not divulg ing the name of the angel was that it is wonderful past hu man apprehension perhaps this was a rebuke to jacobs over- boldness verse 30 peniel for i have seen god face to face pen iel means face of god jacob believed that the angel with whom he had wrestled was a manifestation of god on the basis of john 118 this would in volve a christophany to ex plain jacobs wonder at living after seeing god compare exo dus 3320 chap 331 esau came four hundred men leah rachel the two handmaids the assurances of the angel 3228 did not stop jacob from taking precautions against esaus possible enmity by dividing the group he reck oned on securing the safety of most in case of attack verse 2 the handmaids foremost leah after rachel and joseph hin- dermost the handmaidens bil- hah and zilpah with their chil dren were a sort of shield for leah and rachel and their chil dren notice jacobs special re gard for rachel and joseph giv ing them the place of maximum safety verse 3 bowed himself to the ground seven times the bowing to the ground was not a prostration but a bending from the waist until the upper part of the body was parallel to the ground this was done seven times not in one spot but as jacob advanced toward esau verse 4 and esau ran and embraced him and kiss ed him and they wept what ever hostile intent esau had en tertained vanished in the pres ence of his brother and he re ceived him with all affection after the manner of the orient the heart of the lesson jacob had been accustomed to working out his own problems by his own quickwittedness he had wrested the birthright from his brother esau tutored by his mother he had exercised guile to secure the patriarchal bless ing his meeting with god at bethel had not made him a god- dependent man but for twenty years in his dealings with la- ban he had met cunning with cunning until labans sense of being beaten at his own game expressed itself in resentment and jacob made good his escape but now jacob was in a sit uation which was beyond his cunning he was no match for esau and his four hundred who were doubtless armed he did indeed send before him a most generous gift for esau out of his herds and flocks as a con ciliatory gesture he divided his flocks into sections and even his family into groups so that if esau fell on one segment the others might escape still he realized that these little bits of strategy were an insufficient an swer in the present emergency having exhausted his wits then he did what he ought to have done years before he went alone with god
