The man that Jacob wrestled with was God. Before Jesus came as a baby, a real human being, there were situations like this where Yahweh, probably Jesus, takes on the form of a human being, a man, to interact with another person, in this case to wrestle with Jacob. As you read through this passage it is clear that Jacob somehow knew this was God because he says that he had just seen God face to face and lived. Jacob asked this man to bless him because he knew this must be God or some being sent from God.
