What angel wrestled Jacob?

Although modern English translations often use the word 'angel', Jacob did not wrestle with an angel, but with a god - el. So the question could be about what god wrestled with Jacob.In an ancient tradition inserted into the life story of Jacob at Genesis 32:24ff, he was left alone and wrestled with a man all night until the break of day. Even though his leg was dislocated, Jacob refused to let his opponent go unless he blessed Jacob. That the 'man' was a god is amply demonstrated - Jacob asked for his blessing, and he had the prerogative of changing Jacob's name. The new name he gave Jacob was Israel (generally assumed to mean "wrestled with God'). If the man who wrestled with Jacob was a god, then Jacob was also a god in the very early tradition behind this account, as demonstrated by the fact that he was such an even match for his opponent. And if the opponent was a god, he was also a sun god - daybreak signalled the end of the contest, he had to leave Jacob before the sun could rise, then the sun rose upon Jacob. There is evidence elsewhere in the Bible that suggests Jacob was worshipped as the moon god in very early times before his story evolved into that of a mortal hero. Jacob called the place Peniel ('the face of God') because he had seen God face to face.When we accept that this was once the story of a contest between two gods, or even if we imagine that the patriarch Jacob could wrestle a god for the entire night, then we have few choices but to see that the god who wrestled Jacob was, in pre-biblical times, the sun god.


Who wrestled all night with god and was left with a permanent limp?

It was Jacob who fought an angel (messenger) of the Lord.(He did not wrestle with God himself, only with an angel. The notion that he wrestled with God is based on a mistranslation of Genesis 32:29. The word Elohim, in some contexts such as this one, does not refer to God.)

When Jacob wrestled with the angel what does this represent?

Although modern English translations often use the word 'angel', Jacob did not wrestle with an angel, but with a god - el. In an ancient tradition inserted into the life story of Jacob, he was left alone and wrestled all night until the break of day, when his opponent said he must leave (Genesis 32:24ff). Jacob received the new name 'Israel' (generally assumed to mean "wrestled with God') and he named the place Peniel ('the face of God') because he had seen God face to face. No, this was not an angel.There is evidence in the Bible itself that Jacob was originally a moon god, long before his story evolved into that of a patriarch, so this story represents the daily struggle in which the sun god defeats the moon god at dawn.
