164. וְהִנֵּה נֶאֱמַר, שֶׁכַּאֲשֶׁר עָלָה מֹשֶׁה לְמַעְלָה מַה כָּתוּב? (שמות לד) וַיְהִי שָׁם עִם ה’ אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לַיְלָה לֶחֶם לֹא אָכַל וּמַיִם לֹא שָׁתָה, מִשּׁוּם הַמִּנְהָג, שֶׁלֹּא לְשַׁנּוֹת מֵהַמָּקוֹם הַהוּא שֶׁהָלַךְ לְשָׁם. וְאוֹתָם הַמַּלְאָכִים, כְּשֶׁיָּרְדוּ לְמַטָּה, כָּתוּב (בראשית יח) וְהוּא עֹמֵד עֲלֵיהֶם תַּחַת הָעֵץ וַיֹּאכֵלוּ. וְכֵן כָּאן, כְּשֶׁיָּרַד לְמַטָּה הַמַּלְאָךְ הַזֶּה, לֹא נֶאֱבַק עִם יַעֲקֹב אֶלָּא מִתּוֹךְ שֶׁהָיָה מְלֻבָּשׁ בְּגוּף כְּמוֹ שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, וְעַל כֵּן נֶאֱבַק עִמּוֹ כָּל אוֹתוֹ הַלַּיְלָה.
165. בֹּא רְאֵה, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁהַשִּׁלְטוֹן שֶׁל אֵלּוּ אֵינוֹ אֶלָּא בַּלַּיְלָה וַדַּאי, וּמִשּׁוּם כָּךְ הַשְּׁלִיטָה שֶׁל עֵשָׂו אֵינָהּ אֶלָּא בַּגָּלוּת, שֶׁהִיא הַלַּיְלָה, וְעַל כֵּן בַּלַּיְלָה הִתְחַזֵּק עִם יַעֲקֹב וְנֶאֱבַק עִמּוֹ. וּכְשֶׁבָּא הַבֹּקֶר, נֶחֱלַשׁ כֹּחוֹ וְלֹא יָכֹל, וְאָז הִתְגַּבֵּר יַעֲקֹב, מִשּׁוּם שֶׁשִּׁלְטוֹנוֹ שֶׁל יַעֲקֹב בַּיּוֹם.

Zohar Toldot
Continued from previous DZ
#164
And so we have learned that Moses, when he ascended above, what is written? “וַיְהִי שָׁם עִם יְהוָה אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לַיְלָה לֶחֶם לֹא אָכַל וּמַיִם לֹא שָׁתָה” “And he was there with YHVH forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread, and he did not drink water” (Exodus 34:28), in order not to change from the custom of the place to which he went. And those angels that were with Abraham, when they descended below, it is written, “וְהוּא עֹמֵד עֲלֵיהֶם תַּחַת הָעֵץ וַיֹּאכֵלוּ” “And he stood by them under the tree, and they ate” (Genesis 18:8). And so here, this angel when he descended below was not wrestling with Jacob except because he was clothed in a body in the likeness of this world, and therefore Jacob wrestled with him all that night. But if he had not been clothed, Jacob would not have been able to wrestle with him.
Notes:
Moses did not eat or drink above, so as not to change from the custom of the place. The angels with Abraham ate below, clothed in a body like this world. Likewise this angel was clothed in a body, and therefore Jacob could wrestle with him; without the clothing he could not.

Come and see: because the rule of these, of the other side, is only at night, certainly, because of this the rule of Esau is only in the exile, which is night, that is, that then it is dark for us as at night. And therefore at night the angel fought with Jacob and wrestled with him. And when the morning came, the strength of the angel was weakened, and he could not prevail against him. And then Jacob prevailed. Because the rule of Jacob is in the day.
Notes:
The rule of the other side and of Esau is only at night, which is the exile. At night the angel fought Jacob, but when morning came his strength was weakened, and Jacob prevailed, for Jacob’s rule is in the day.
