The angel of God said to me in the dream, `Jacob,` and I said, `Here I am.`
Verse Takeaways
1

Commentators emphasize that the 'Angel of God' is not a created being but a divine manifestation. John Gill identifies this figure as 'the eternal one, the Son of God,' a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ. This highlights the direct, personal intervention of God Himself in Jacob's life, not through a mere messenger.
