Wrestle with God

英语百科

Jacob wrestling with the angel

Gustave Doré, Jacob Wrestling with the Angel (1855)

The account of Jacob wrestling with the angel is found in Genesis 32:22-32 and referenced elsewhere, such as Hosea 12:4. The account includes the renaming of Jacob as "Israel", literally "He who struggles with God."

The being with which Jacob wrestles is variously described as an angel, a man, or God. Jacob asks the being his name, and while he doesn't receive an answer, Jacob names the place where they wrestled Peniel or Penuel or Phanuel. The event occurs during Jacob's journey back to Canaan.
