The words in the Hebrew are, He [will] find us in Bethel, 1and there he spake with us. As if it were an encouraging word of the Angel to Jacob, that God would find him in Bethel; and indeed the Grammatical sense of the words would carry such a sense, but rather, because the Learned know that the word is often used for the Preter ⟨p. 262⟩tense in the Hebrew, and it's more according to the scope of the place, to read them as you have them in your books, He found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us. That is, He found Jacob in Bethel, and spake to Jacob, and in speaking to Jacob, he spake unto us all.

Now for the opening of this History, and the showing 1how it suits with the scope of the Prophet in this place. We read in Scripture of two Meetings that God and Jacob had together at Bethel, and this Text in Hosea doth refer to them both, God finds him in Bethel two times and spake with Jacob, and spake to us both those times.
