Verse 2
Notice in verse two there are two "before's." [Not related to 2 by 4 :) ] One before refers to physical location and the other to chronological location. Notice that it doesn’t say the wrestle was “with God.”
- There are five other verses in the scriptures that use a form of the word wrestle:
Gen. 30: 8 With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, Gen. 32: 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him Gen. 32: 25 and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. Eph. 6: 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against … spiritual wickedness Alma 8: 10 Alma labored much in the spirit, wrestling with God in mighty prayer.
Note that the other wrestle verse from the Book of Mormon uses the preposition "with" and it is also in a prayer context.
