Gen. 32. v. 24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until § 8 the ascending of the morning; v. 26. And he said, let me go, for the day ascendeth; and he said, I will not let thee go except thou bless me. v. 27. And he said unto him, what is thy name, and he said Jacob. v. 28. And he said, thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for as a Prince hast thou Power with God and men, and hast prevailed. v. 29. And Jacob asked him and said, Tell me I pray thee thy name; and he said, wherefore dost thou ask after my name? and he blessed him there. v. 30. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. This Story is twice reflected upon in the Scripture afterwards. Once by Jacob himself, Gen. 48. v. 15, 16. And he blessed Joseph and said, God before whom my Fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day, the Angel which redeemed me from all evil bless the Lads. And once by the Prophet Hosea, Chap. 12. v. 3, 4. By his strength he had power with God; yea, he had power over the Angel and prevailed; he wept and made supplication unto him, he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us, v. 5. Even the Lord God of Hosts the Lord is his memorial. In the first place he is called a man; there appeared a man, v. 24. In the second Jacob calls him an Angel, the Angel that redeemed me; v. 16. And in the third he is expressly said to be God, the Lord of Hosts, v. 3, 5.
