The angel — Called Hosea 12:3, God; and Hosea 12:5, Jehovah, Lord of hosts. He was no created angel, but the Messiah; eternal God by nature and essence, angel by office, and voluntary undertaking. He wept — He prayed with tears from a sense of his own unworthiness, and with earnestness for the mercy he desired. He — God. Him — Jacob full of weariness, fears, and solicitude on his journey to Laban. He — God. With us — Being then in Jacob's loins.
