And who is this One, who is at one time called Angel of great counsel, and a man through Ezekiel, and as a son of man through Daniel, and a child through Isaiah, and Christ and God to be worshipped through David, and Christ and a stone through many, and Wisdom through Solomon, and Joseph and Judah and a star through Moses, and Dawn through Zechariah, and again subject to suffering and Jacob and Israel through Isaiah, and is called a rod and a flower and a cornerstone and Son of God? If you had known these things, O Trypho, I said, you would not be blaspheming Him who has already come and been born and suffered and ascended into heaven—who will also come again, and then your twelve tribes shall mourn.
For if you had understood the things spoken by the prophets, you would not have denied that He is God, the Son of the only and unbegotten and ineffable God. For it is said somewhere also through Moses in Exodus thus: 'And the Lord spoke to Moses, and said to him: I am the Lord, and I appeared to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, their God, and my name I did not declare to them, and I established my covenant with them.'
And again He says thus: 'A man wrestled with Jacob'; and he says it was God. 'For I saw God face to face, and my soul was saved,' he says Jacob said. And that he also recorded the place where He wrestled with him and appeared and blessed him, and called it the Form of God.
祂又如此說：「有一人與雅各摔跤」；他說那是神。「因為我面對面見了神，我的性命仍得保全」，他說雅各這樣說過。並且他也記載了那祂與他摔跤、向他顯現並賜福他的地方，稱它為「神的面（Form of God / Eidos theou）」。
And likewise to Abraham, as Moses says, God appeared by the oak of Mamre, as he sat at the door of his tent at midday. Then, having said this, he adds: 'And lifting up his eyes he looked, and behold, three men stood over him. And seeing them, he ran to meet them.' And after a little, one of them promises Abraham a son: 'Why did Sarah laugh, saying: Shall I indeed bear? for I am grown old. Is anything impossible with God? At this season I will return at the appointed time, and Sarah shall have a son.' And they depart from Abraham.
And so He speaks again concerning them: 'And the men rose up from there, and looked down toward the face of Sodom.' Then again He speaks to Abraham thus—He who was and is: 'I will not hide from my servant Abraham what I am about to do.' And the rest of what is recorded from the words of Moses and expounded by me I spoke again, through which it is demonstrated that He who appeared to Abraham and to Isaac and to Jacob and to the other patriarchs, being recorded as God, was set under the Father and Lord and ministered to His will, I said.
And I added, even if I had not said it in what went before: So also, when the people desired to eat flesh and Moses disbelieved Him who is there too called Angel, who promised that God would give them satisfaction, He Himself, being both God and Angel sent from the Father, is shown to have said and done these things. For thus the Scripture adds, saying: 'And the Lord said to Moses: Shall the hand of the Lord not suffice? Now you shall know whether my word shall overtake you or not.' And again, in other words, He thus says: 'And the Lord said to me: You shall not cross this Jordan. The Lord your God, who goes before your face, He shall utterly destroy the nations.'
