according_a to_o the_o greek_a pronunciation_n phanovel_n jacob_n tell_v we_o the_o meaning_n because_o i_o have_v see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n that_o be_v not_o in_o a_o dream_n but_o wake_v not_o that_o jacob_n see_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v invisible_a but_o he_o see_v he_o more_o clear_o than_o ever_o he_o do_v before_o jacob_n see_v god_n face_n to_o face_n moses_n speak_v with_o god_n mouth_n to_o mouth_n that_o be_v they_o see_v and_o speak_v with_o god_n as_o one_o friend_n to_o another_o as_o before_o when_o jacob_n have_v the_o vision_n of_o the_o ladder_n he_o call_v out_o of_o thankfulness_n the_o place_n bethel_n so_o now_o he_o call_v this_o place_n peniel_n that_o his_o posterity_n by_o that_o name_n may_v call_v to_o remembrance_n this_o heavenly_a vision_n in_o that_o place_n show_v to_o their_o father_n jacob_n wherever_o the_o saint_n prevail_v with_o god_n there_o be_v peniel_n sometime_o they_o may_v call_v the_o congregation_n peniel_n there_o they_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n their_o closet_n peniel_n there_o they_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n oh_o how_o comfortable_a be_v it_o to_o reflect_v on_o the_o time_n and_o place_n of_o god_n appearance_n to_o his_o people_n for_o caleb_n and_o joshua_n to_o look_v back_o on_o the_o red_a sea_n and_o to_o say_v there_o we_o be_v israel_n for_o israel_n to_o look_v back_o on_o ai_fw-fr and_o to_o say_v there_o be_v peniel_n how_o sweet_a to_o consider_v there_o be_v the_o place_n where_o god_n soften_v my_o conscience_n there_o be_v the_o bethel_n where_o god_n

which_o befall_v jacob_n according_a to_o the_o pedagogie_n and_o rudiment_n of_o that_o time_n who_o can_v show_v in_o the_o bible_n where_o the_o lord_n blame_v this_o custom_n but_o may_v some_o
