4 \12:3\He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:

5 \12:4\Yes, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Beth-el, and there he spoke with us;

6 \12:5\Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
