32:30So Jacob named the place Peniel,74 explaining,75 “Certainly76 I have seen God face to face77 and have survived.”78
Footnotes
- 74 The name Peniel means “face of God.” Since Jacob saw God face to face here, the name is appropriate.
- 75 The word “explaining” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
- 76 Or “because.”
- 77 I have seen God face to face. See the note on the name “Peniel” earlier in the verse.
- 78 Heb “and my soul [= life] has been preserved.” I have survived. It was commonly understood that no one could see God and live (Gen 48:16; Exod 19:21, 24:10; and Judg 6:11, 22). On the surface Jacob seems to be saying that he saw God and survived. But the statement may have a double meaning, in light of his prayer for deliverance in v. 11. Jacob recognizes that he has survived his encounter with God and that his safety has now been guaranteed.
