| Genesis 32:29 | Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? And he blessed him in the same place. | Why, etc. He represses Jacob's curiosity, (Haydock) perhaps because God did not as yet choose to reveal his name, Exodus 6:3. Some Greek and Latin copies add, which is wonderful, taken from Judges 13:6, 18. (Calmet) |
