In Bereishit 32:31, Yaakov says, "ראיתי אלוקים פנים אל–פנים" after his encounter with the angel. Most commentators, such as Rashi, interpret that when Yaakov says this, he really meant "I have seen [an angel of] Hashem face to face", but why does the Torah (in which everything is significant) show Yaakov saying he saw Elokim as opposed to a malach of Elokim?
