Gênesis 32:31 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 32:31

And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him
It was break of day when the angel desired to be let go, and by that time the parley held between them ceased, and they parted, the sun was rising; and as Jacob went on it shone upon him, as a token of the good will and favour of God to him, and as an emblem of the sun of righteousness arising on him with healing in his wings, ( Malachi 4:2 ) ; and he halted upon his thigh;
it being out of joint, of which he became more sensible when he came to walk upon it; and besides, his attention to the angel that was with him caused him not so much to perceive it until he had departed front him: some think he went limping all his days; others, that he was healed immediately by the angel before he came to Esau; but of either there is no proof.

Gênesis 32:31 In-Context

29 Perguntou-lhe Jacó: Dize-me, peço-te, o teu nome. Respondeu o homem: Por que perguntas pelo meu nome? E ali o abençoou.

30 Pelo que Jacó chamou ao lugar Peniel, dizendo: Porque tenho visto Deus face a face, e a minha vida foi preservada.

31 E nascia o sol, quando ele passou de Peniel; e coxeava de uma perna.

32 Por isso os filhos de Israel não comem até o dia de hoje o nervo do quadril, que está sobre a juntura da coxa, porquanto o homem tocou a juntura da coxa de Jacó no nervo do quadril.
