   Am I right in saying that in the Jewish Torah Jacob is said to   
   have wrestled with his God whereas in the Christian Old Testament   
   it says he wrestled with an angel?   
      
   I believe the reference to Jacob “wrestling” with his God at night   
   means he negotiated with his God on behalf of all humans   
   in his (large, but not global) region, but over a period of   
   18 years, not just one night.
