Jacob said, “I have seen God face-to-face and I am still alive!”
Genesis 32/23-30
Was I the one who wrestled with Jacob? The poor dear was a patriarchalist, remember? He wouldn’t have wrestled with the visitor if he thought the being was female. But if the Malik Yahweh—that’s Hebrew for the Angel of Yahweh—had been a bearer of life, I don’t think she would have found him all that attractive.
