Commentary on Genesis John Calvin
JOHN CALVIN
24. And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
24. Porro remansit Iahacob solus ipse: et luctatus est vir cum eo, donec ascendit aurora.
25. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
25. Et vidit quod non praevaleret ei, et tetigit palam femoris ejus, et movit se pala femoris Iahacob, luctante illo cum eo.
26. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
26. Tunc dixit, Dimitte me, quia ascendit aurora. Cui respondit, Non dimittam to, nisi benedixeris mihi.
27. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
27. Et dixit ad eum, Quod est nomen tuum? Et ait, Iahacob.
28. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
28. Tunc dixit, Non Iahacob dicetur ultra nomen tuum, sed Israel: quia princeps fuisti cum Deo, et hominibus praevalebis.
29. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
29. Et interrogavit Iahacob, et dixit, Indica, quaeso, nomen tuum. Et dixit, Utquid interrogas de nomine meo? et benedixit ei illic.
30. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
30. Vocavit ergo Iahacob nomen loci, Peniel: quia vidi Deum facie ad faciem, et evasit anima mea.
