Jacob Wrestles at Peniel
32:1So Jacob went on his way and the angels of God1 met him. 32:2When Jacob saw them, he exclaimed,2 “This is the camp of God!” So he named that place Mahanaim.3
Footnotes
- 1 The phrase angels of God occurs only here and in Gen 28:12 in the OT. Jacob saw a vision of angels just before he left the promised land. Now he encounters angels as he prepares to return to it. The text does not give the details of the encounter, but Jacob’s response suggests it was amicable. This location was a spot where heaven made contact with earth, and where God made his presence known to the patriarch. See C. Houtman, “Jacob at Mahanaim: Some Remarks on Genesis XXXII 2–3,” 28 (1978): 37–44.
- 2 Heb “and Jacob said when he saw them.”
- 3 The name Mahanaim apparently means “two camps.” Perhaps the two camps were those of God and of Jacob.
