Footnotes

  1. 57 Heb “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  2. 58 Heb “him”; the referent (Jacob) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 59 Or “injured”; traditionally “touched.” The Hebrew verb translated “struck” has the primary meanings “to touch; to reach; to strike.” It can, however, carry the connotation “to harm; to molest; to injure.” God’s “touch” cripples Jacob—it would be comparable to a devastating blow.
