  1. Hosea 12:4 Hebrew him

And from the midst of it came the likeness of (A)four living creatures. (B)And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, (C)but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf's foot. And they sparkled (D)like burnished bronze. Under their wings (E)on their four sides (F)they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus: their wings touched one another. (G)Each one of them went straight forward, (H)without turning as they went. 10 As for the likeness of their faces, (I)each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle. 11 Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while (J)two covered their bodies. 12 (K)And each went straight forward. (L)Wherever the spirit[a] would go, they went, without turning as they went. 13 As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was (M)like burning coals of fire, (N)like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. (O)And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures (P)darted to and fro, (Q)like the appearance of a flash of lightning.

24 And Jacob was left alone. And (A)a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. 25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. 26 Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken.” But Jacob said, (B)“I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 And he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” 28 Then he said, (C)“Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel,[a] for (D)you have striven with God and (E)with men, and have prevailed.” 29 Then Jacob asked him, “Please tell me your name.” But he said, (F)“Why is it that you ask my name?” And there he blessed him. 30 So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel,[b] saying, “For (G)I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.” 31 The sun rose upon him as he passed (H)Penuel, limping because of his hip.
