who wrestled with the angel all night long
Jacob wrestling with the angel In the Genesis narrative, Jacob spent the night alone on a riverside during his journey back to Canaan. He encounters a "man" who proceeds to wrestle with him until daybreak. In the end, Jacob is given the name "Israel" and blessed, while the "man" refuses to give his own name. Jacob names place where they wrestled or Penuel (פְּנוּאֵל "face of God" or "facing God"[2]).
