Context of Hosea 12:13
11Is there idolatry in Gilead? Certainly its inhabitants will come to nothing! Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal? Surely their altars will be like stones heaped up on a plowed field! 12Jacob fled to the country of Aram, then Israel worked to acquire a wife; he tended sheep to pay for her. The Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet, and due to a prophet Israel was preserved alive. 14But Ephraim bitterly provoked him to anger; so he will hold him accountable for the blood he has shed, his Lord will repay him for the contempt he has shown.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13By a prophet was he preserved - Or “kept.” Jacob “kept sheep” out of love of God, sooner than unite himself with one, alien from God; his posterity “was kept” like a sheep by God, as the Psalmist said, “He led His people like sheep by the hand of Moses and Aaron” Psalm 77:20.
