Genesis 32:2

2. This is God’s host Or, God’s band . He at once recognises them as the same class of heavenly powers that had appeared to him in the vision of Beth-el . He has around him his own company, no small host; and behold, he is also encompassed by another camp, God’s company of holy watchers, set to guard and guide him in his way .

Mahanaim Two camps; his own and that of the angels . Comp . Psalms 34:7. The great lesson of this event was that of the immanent providence of God . His angels ever guard the ways of his chosen . The site of Mahanaim is probably the modern Maneh, on the north of mount Ajlun . It was on the border of Gad and Manasseh, (Joshua 13:26; Joshua 13:30,) and was a city of the Levites. Joshua 21:38. Here Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, reigned two years .
