Hosea Redeems His Wife
1Then the Lord said to me, “Go, again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, # Jer 3:20; Hos 1:2–3 just as the Lord loves the Israelites, who look to other gods and love raisin cakes.”
2So I purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and for a homer of barley, and a half homer of barley. 3Then I said to her, “You will remain with me many days. You will not play the whore, and you will not belong to another man. And also I will be with you.” # Dt 21:13
4For the Israelites will remain many days without a king and without a prince, without a sacrifice and without a standing stone, # Ge 28:18–22; Isa 19:19 and without an ephod # Ex 28:4; Jdg 17:5 and teraphim. # Ge 31:19; 1Sa 19:13 5Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. # Jer 30:9 They will come in fear to the Lord and to His goodness in the latter days. # Isa 2:2
