An Application
There's a quote from The Matrix 2 where one character does unexpected karate sparing with the main character, then says "you don't truly know someone until you fight them." Jacob could relate in GE 32:28. Perhaps the one whom Jacob wrestled with was Jesus, but it was not time to reveal His separate name from the Father, yet God does not lie (NUM 23:19, HEB 6:18) so He refused to answer (GE 32:29). We too, can wrestle all night with God, in prayer.
Connect the Dots
GE 32:22 says 11 children in some translations but in this case it's definitely his 11 sons and his 12th child, his daughter, was just implied.
