Now this name was given him by the angel\r\nwho wrestled with him on the way back from Mesopotamia,\r\nand who was most evidently a type of Christ. For when\r\nJacob overcame him, doubtless with his own consent, that the\r\nmystery might be represented, it signified Christ's passion, in\r\nwhich the Jews are seen overcoming Him. And yet he\r\nbesought a blessing from the very angel he had overcome; and\r\nso the imposition of this name was the blessing. For Israel\r\nmeans <i>seeing God</i>,<a id=\"FNanchor_328_328\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_328_328\">[328]</a> which will at last be the reward of all the\r\nsaints. The angel also touched him on the breadth of the<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_158\">[Pg 158]</a></span>\r\nthigh when he was overcoming him, and in that way made\r\nhim lame. So that Jacob was at one and the same time\r\nblessed and lame: blessed in those among that people who\r\nbelieved in Christ, and lame in the unbelieving. For the\r\nbreadth of the thigh is the multitude of the family. For there\r\nare many of that race of whom it was prophetically said beforehand,\r\n\"And they have halted in their paths.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_329_329\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_329_329\">[329]</a></p>","headings":["THE CITY OF GOD.","BOOK SIXTEENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45305-paragraph-270"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"cdb9215706a68e115735d329c4383d976be191f6e950a0742af41e0493b4bffc","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume II","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Books XVII-XVIII)"],"edition_year":1871,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"PSA","chapter":18,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Ps. xviii. 45","verse":45,"verse_end":45}],"headings":[],"id":"pg45305-Footnote_329_329","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Provider catalog reports public domain in the USA.
