not spared thy son,thy belovedson,formy sake."1 Also in
the same place,toJacob : " And theAngel of theLord spake
unto me in dreams, I am God, whom thou sawest in the
place of God 3 where thou anointedstme a pillarof stone,
and vowedst to me a vow." 3 Also in Exodus : " But God
went beforethem by day indeed in a pillarof cloud,to show
them the way ; and by night in a pillarof fire."4 And
afterwards,in the same place: "And the Angel of God
moved forward,which went beforethe army of the children
of Israel."5 Also in the same place: " Lo, I send my Angel
before thy face,to keep thee in the way, that He may lead
thee intothe land which I have prepared forthee. Observe
Him, and obey Him, and be not disobedientto Him, and
He willnot be wanting to thee. For my name isin Him." 6
Whence He Himself says in the Gospel : " I came in the
name of my Father,and ye receivedme not. When another
shallcome in his own name, him ye willreceive."7 And
again in the 117th Psalm : " Blessed isHe who cometh in
the name of the Lord." * Also in Malachi : " My covenant
of lifeand peace was with Levi ;9 and I gave him fear,
that he should fearme, that he should go from the face of
my name. The law of truth was in his mouth, and un
righteousnesswas not found in his lips. In the peace of
the tongue correcting,he walked with us,and turned many
away from unrighteousness.Because the lipsof the priests
shallkeep knowledge, and they shallseek the law at His
mouth ; forHe isthe Angel of the Almighty."10
