Bible Question: Who walked with a limp after being crippled by an angel? |
Bible Answer: As you can see from the context of the quoted scripture above, it was Jacob who was crippled by an angel. What could be the reason for crippling this God fearing man? It may have been to teach Jacob humility; a constant reminder not to be overly exalted because of his God-given prosperity or for having wrestled with an angel. The quality of humility is an object lesson found repeatedly in the Bible. |
