His first name Jacob, which is by interpretation supplanter, he received when he was born. He held his brother's foot who preceded him in his birth, and himself came after. And afterwards, when he was returning from Mesopotamia, the Angel wrestled with him in the way. For consider the manner of the struggle too. While he wrestleth, Jacob prevailed against the Angel.
Some high meaning is here.
16 When the conqueror was blessed by the Conquered, Christ was figured. Such was He who was conquered. So great power had this Conquered One, as to touch the thigh, and make lame. It was then with His Own will that He was conquered. He is not angry at being conquered, for He is not angry at being crucified.
