Genesis 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed.
[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 180>181] He had sinned against his father, his brother, his own soul, and against God. Trembling with astonishment and distress, the blind old father learned the deception that had been practiced upon him. While the words of blessing were upon his lips, he had felt the Spirit of inspiration upon him; and now, knowing all the circumstances, he ratified the benediction unwittingly pronounced upon Jacob: “I have blessed him; yea, and he shall be blessed.”
Therefore, the gravity of his deed was now brought vividly before Jacob during this confrontation with Christ. He was forgiven, but the enormity of his sins, and the enormity of God’s grace towards him would lead him to understand what “I surrender all really means.” Genesis 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Genesis 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, let me go, for the day breaks. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. 28 And he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
Genesis 32:29 And Jacob asked him, and said, tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
