[Manasseh by Maurus Jokai]@TWC D-Link bookManasseh CHAPTER XIV 32/32
At length the elder brother wearied of this diversion and aroused his bedfellow. "With whom are you wrestling, brother ?" he cried in the sleeper's ear. "With God," returned Manasseh. "Like Jacob at Peniel ?" "Yes, and I will not let him go until he blesses me--like Jacob at Peniel." "Take care, or he will put your thigh out of joint, as he did Jacob's." "Let him, if it is his will." With that Manasseh turned his face to the wall, on the other side of which lay Blanka, who likewise turned her face to the wall, and so they both fell asleep. And the Lord blessed them and spake to them: "I am Jehovah, almighty. Increase and be fruitful.
From your seed shall spring peoples and races; for you have prevailed with God, and shall prevail also with men.".
