NETBible

Then the man¹ said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.”² “I will not let you go,” Jacob replied,³ “unless you bless me.”⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “dawn has arisen.”

³tn Heb “and he said, ‘I will not let you go.’” The referent of the pronoun “he” (Jacob) has been specified for clarity, and the order of the introductory clause and the direct discourse has been rearranged in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁴sn Jacob wrestled with a man thinking him to be a mere man, and on that basis was equal to the task. But when it had gone on long enough, the night visitor touched Jacob and crippled him. Jacob’s request for a blessing can only mean that he now knew that his opponent was supernatural. Contrary to many allegorical interpretations of the passage that make fighting equivalent to prayer, this passage shows that Jacob stopped fighting, and then asked for a blessing.
