Genesis 32:29-30. And, he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
Thus did Jacob the wrestler overcome his God. Now turn to the thirty-second chapter of the Book of Exodus, where we find a description of the sin of idolatry into which the Israelites fell while Moses was absent in communion with God upon the mountain. The people brought their golden ear-rings to Aaron, and he made a calf, and they bowed before it, saying, "These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt." While this wickedness was going on, Moses was on the mountain-top with God.
This exposition consisted of readings from Genesis 32:22-30; Exodus 32:7-14; and Mark 7:24-30.
