Greek text · Archambault 1:274

Καὶ συννευσάντων ταῖς κεφαλαῖς ἁπάντων ἔφην ἐγώ· Καὶ τοὺς λόγους, οἳ ἀγγέλλουσι πῶς ὤφθη αὐτῷ, φεύγοντι τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ἠσαῦ, οὗτος καὶ ἄγγελος καὶ θεὸς καὶ κύριος, καὶ ἐν ἰδέᾳ ἀνδρὸς τῷ Ἀβραὰμ φανεὶς καὶ ἐν ἰδέᾳ ἀνθρώπου αὐτῷ τῷ Ἰακὼβ παλαίσας, ἀναγκαῖον εἶναι εἰπεῖν ὑμῖν λογιζόμενος, λέγω.

English · Claude translation

And when they all nodded their heads, I said: “And considering it necessary, I tell you also the words that relate how this one, who is Angel and God and Lord, and who appeared to Abraham in the form of a man and wrestled with Jacob himself in the form of a man, appeared to him when he was fleeing from his brother Esau.
