Verse 4
Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
The angel — Called verse3, God; and verse5, Jehovah, Lord of hosts. He was no created angel, but the Messiah; eternal God by nature and essence, angel by office, and voluntary undertaking.
He wept — He prayed with tears from a sense of his own unworthiness, and with earnestness for the mercy he desired.
He — God.
Him — Jacob full of weariness, fears, and solicitude on his journey to Laban.
He — God.
With us — Being then in Jacob's loins.
