Hosea 12:4–5 (English 12:3–4) in alluding to Jacob’s wrestling match seems to reflect ancient ambivalence about the nature of Jacob’s opponent; the verse ambiguously parallels “God” and “angel.” Unfortunately, the Hebrew text of Hosea is notorious for its bad state of preservation; textual problems in these verses frustrate attempts at a definitive translation.
