One Unexpected Blow After Another

Hypothesis 40

That same night Jacob got up, took his two wives, his two concubines, and his eleven children, and crossed the Jabbok River. After he had sent them across, he also sent across all that he owned, but he stayed behind, alone.

Then a man came and wrestled with him until just before daybreak. When the man saw that he was not winning the struggle, he hit Jacob on the hip, and it was thrown out of joint. The man said, “Let me go; daylight is coming.”

“I won’t, unless you bless me,” Jacob answered.

“What is your name?” the man asked.

“Jacob,” he answered.

The man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob. You have struggled with God and with men, and you have won; so your name will be Israel.”

(Genesis 32:22-28) GNT

Jediael is my God-wrestlin’ name. It was the first word that I was able to find in Davidson’s Lexicon. So WHY? was I trying to find the word “Jediael?” Don’t get me started.
