Israel:
i.e. a prince of God

as a prince:
Or, according to the LXX, Vulgate, Houbigant, Dathe, and Rosenmuller, "because thou hast power with God, thou shalt also prevail with men." There is a beautiful antithesis between the two terms, with אלהים, Elohim, God, the Almighty, with אנשׁים, anashim, weak, feeble men, as the word imports; seeing thou hast had power with the Almighty, surely thou shalt prevail over perishing mortals.

power:
"And Jacobª was leftª ° alone;¹ and there wrestledª ° a manª with¹ him until¹ the breakingª ° of the day.ª" {Gen 32:24} + "He took his brother² by the heelª °¹ ¹ in the womb,ª and by his strengthª he had powerª ° with¹ God:ª ... Even the LORDª Godª of hosts;ª the LORDª [is] his memorial.ª" {Hsa 12:3-5}

with men:
"And Jacobª said,ª ° Sellª ° me this dayª ¹ thy birthright.ª" {Gen 25:31} + "And Isaacª trembledª ° very² exceedingly,ª ª ¹ ¹ and said,ª ° Who?¹ whereª [is] he¹ that hath takenª ° venison,ª and broughtª ° [it] me, and I have eatenª ° of all¹ ¹ before¹ thou camest,ª ° and have blessedª ° him? yea,¹ [and] he shall be¹ blessed.ª ° ... And he said,ª ° Is not he rightlyª namedª ª ° Jacob?ª for he hath supplanted¹ me² ° theseª two times:ª he took awayª °¹ my birthright;ª and, behold,¹ now¹ he hath taken awayª ° my blessing.ª And he said,ª ° Hast thou not¹ reservedª ° a blessingª for me?" {Gen 27:33-36} + "And Godª cameª ° to¹ Labanª the Syrianª in a dreamª by night,ª and saidª ° unto him, Take heedª ° that¹ thou speakª ° not toª Jacobª either goodª ¹ orª bad.ª" {Gen 31:24} + "And Jacobª was wroth,ª ° and chodeª ° with Laban:ª and Jacobª answeredª ° and saidª ° to Laban,ª What¹ [is] my trespass?ª what¹ [is] my sin,ª that¹ thou hast so hotly pursuedª ° after¹ me?² ...
