And he saw that he prevailed not against him,\r\nand he touched the breadth of his thigh; and the breadth of\r\nJacob’s thigh grew stiff while he was wrestling with him.\r\nAnd he said to him, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_381\">381</span>he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And\r\nhe said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.\r\nAnd he said to him, Thy name shall be called no more\r\nJacob, but Israel shall be thy name: for thou hast prevailed\r\nwith God, and art powerful with men. And Jacob asked\r\nhim, and said, Tell me thy name. And he said, Wherefore\r\nis it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him\r\nthere. And Jacob called the name of the place Vision of\r\nGod: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.\r\nAnd the sun rose, when the vision of God passed\r\nby.”<a id=\"r1102\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1102\"><sup>[1102]</sup></a> And that he also prophesied by inspiration, is evident\r\nfrom this passage: “And Jacob called unto his sons, and\r\nsaid, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what\r\nshall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together,\r\nand hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your\r\nfather. Reuben, my first-born, my might, and the beginning\r\nof my children, hard to be born, hard and stubborn. Thou\r\nwert wanton, boil not over like water; because thou wentest\r\nup to thy father’s bed; then defiledst thou the couch to which\r\nthou wentest up.”<a id=\"r1103\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f1103\"><sup>[1103]</sup></a> And so with the rest: it was by inspiration\r\nthat the prophetic blessings were pronounced. We\r\nneed not wonder, then, that Daniel sometimes prophesied by\r\ninspiration, as when he rebuked the elders sometimes, as you\r\nsay, by dreams and visions, and at other times by an angel\r\nappearing unto him.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","LETTERS.","A LETTER FROM ORIGEN TO AFRICANUS."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70561-paragraph-373"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"5e4fa99168bc2564713fc229fbd28cefe53c7040f04cb90cce0c16cca9f375e7","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 1 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1869,"explicit_reference_candidates":[{"book":"GEN","chapter":49,"kind":"unreviewed","source_notation":"Gen. xlix. 1","verse":1,"verse_end":1}],"headings":[],"id":"pg70561-f1103","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":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
