They are the pres- sent that Jacob sends to min the good will of Ills offended brother. That night Jacob halts by the brook Jab- bok. But there Is no rest tor the weary man. No shining ladder to let the angels dowu lnio his dream: but u. severe struggle, that lasts until morn- lug, with on unknown visitor. They each try to throw the other. The un- known visitor, to reveal his superior power, by a touch wrenches Jacob's thigh-bone from Its socket, perhaps mining him for life. As on the morn- ing sky the clusters of purple cloud be- gin to ripen. Jacob sees It is an angel with whom he has been contending. and not one oi his brother's coadju- tors.
