29 And Iacob asked him sainge tell me thi name. And he sayde wherfore dost thou aske after my name? and he blessed him there.

30 And Iacob called the name of the place Peniel for I haue sene God face to face and yet is my lyfe reserved.

31 And as he went ouer Peniel the sonne rose vpon him and he halted vpon his thye:

32 wherfore the childern of Israell eate not of the senow that shrancke vnder the thye vnto this daye: because that he smote Iacob vnder the thye in the senow that shroncke.
