**angel**
*(See Scofield "**")* .

**Mahanaim**
i.e. two hosts, or bands -- the visible band, Jacob and his servants; the invisible band, God's angels. Cf. [2 Kings 6:13-17](../../../kjv/2-kings/6/13-17).

**Edom**
i.e. Esau's country. [Genesis 25:30](../../../kjv/genesis/25/30). *(See Scofield "*[Genesis 25:30](../../../kjv/genesis/25/30)*")* .

**and there wrestled**
Jacob's crisis. Cf. [Joshua 5:13-15](../../../kjv/joshua/5/13-15); [Job 42:5](../../../kjv/job/42/5); [Job 42:6](../../../kjv/job/42/6); [Isaiah 6:1-8](../../../kjv/isaiah/6/1-8); [Jeremiah 1:4-9](../../../kjv/jeremiah/1/4-9); [Ezekiel 1:28](../../../kjv/ezekiel/1/28); [Ezekiel 2:1-7](../../../kjv/ezekiel/2/1-7); [Daniel 10:1-12](../../../kjv/daniel/10/1-12); [Acts 9:1-6](../../../kjv/acts/9/1-6); [Revelation 1:13-18](../../../kjv/revelation/1/13-18).

**shall be no more called Jacob**
Both names are applied to the nation descended from Jacob. When used characteristically "Jacob" is the name for the natural posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; "Israel" for the spiritual part of the nation. See [Isaiah 9:8](../../../kjv/isaiah/9/8). The "word" was sent to all the people, "Jacob," but it "lighted upon Israel," i.e. was comprehended by the spiritual part of the people. See "Israel" [Genesis 12:2](../../../kjv/genesis/12/2); [Genesis 12:3](../../../kjv/genesis/12/3).
*(See Scofield "*[Genesis 12:3](../../../kjv/genesis/12/3)*")* .
