I mean Jacob did wrestle with God and sort of got him to a stalemate

Angels can't be any stronger than that

Edit: actually relooking at that pic it is Jacob wrestling with God lol

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This was pretty much what I had in mind to that question which makes it doubly accurate because it's generally the behavior of bullies anyway

I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




That's Jacob, and he would have won that fight if the angel hadn't played dirty

quote:

The same night he arose and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and everything else that he had. And Jacob was left alone. And a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, "Let me go, for the day has broken." But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, "Jacob." Then he said, "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel, for you have striven with God and with men, and have prevailed."
I like that at no point is his reason for fighting or even how he met the angel ever explained

Yeah it's kinda hilarious that Jacob was about to win and the angels like "aw hell naw" and dislocates his hip and also gives him a new name out of the blue?

Any time you get a weird story like that in Genesis, which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense in terms of narrative or theology, the reason is often that it's an adaption of an older legend intended to explain the origin of something (usually a name or a geographical feature). In this story, it appears to be trying to explain the origin of the name of the stream ("Jabbock" sounds like the Hebrew word 'abaq, translated here as "wrestle") and the origin of the name Israel (a combination of sara - here translated as "striven" - and El - one of the old Hebrew words for "God").

That's his point - you can't hold both of a woman's arms while also striking her face and therefore we should genocide the Palestinians.

So if I understand this, Jacob and his people were fording a river and while he was watching his family safely cross, some dude just showed up and they wrestled until dawn? Hmm.

Wrestled so hard he put his hip out. I wish "uh I was fighting with an angel" was still a plausible excuse for stuff.
