When Prior Walter (Justin Kirk) asks Hannah Pitt (Meryl Streep) for advice on how to reject his calling to prophecy, she tells him that he should wrestle the angel and tell her, "l will not let thee go except thou bless me." Hannah is referring to Genesis 32:25-33, the story from the Torah in which an angel wrestled Jacob, who likewise refused to release the angel until he got a blessing from him. This is the same Bible story to which Joe Pitt (Patrick Wilson) refers earlier in this mini-series when he tells Harper (Mary-Louise Parker) about the picture of a beautiful man that he often looked at as a child, and about which he still dreams.
