Hosea 3

Waiting for Restoration

1Then the Lord said to me, “Go again; show love to a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, # 3:1 Hs 1:2 just as the Lord loves the Israelites though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.” # 3:1 2Sm 6:19; 1Ch 16:3; Sg 2:5

2So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and nine bushels of barley. # 3:2 LXX reads barley and a measure of wine,# 3:2 Lit silver, a homer of barley, and a lethek of barley,# 3:2 Ru 4:10 3I said to her, “You are to live with me many days. You must not be promiscuous or belong to any man, and I will act the same way toward you.”

4For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, # 3:4 Hs 13:10–11 without sacrifice # 3:4 Dn 9:27; 11:31; 12:11; Hs 2:11 or sacred pillar, # 3:4 Hs 10:1–2 and without ephod # 3:4 Ex 28:4–12; 1Sm 23:9–12 or household idols. # 3:4 Gn 31:19,34; Jdg 17:5; 18:14,17 5Afterward, the people of Israel will return # 3:5 Jr 50:4–5 and seek the Lord their God and David their king. # 3:5 Is 11:1–10; Jr 23:5–6; 33:15–16; Ezk 34:24; Rm 11:23 They will come with awe to the Lord # 3:5 Jr 31:9 and to his goodness in the last days.

Hoshea 3

1Then said Hashem unto me, Go again, love an isha (woman, wife) beloved of her re'a (friend, companion), yet a noefet (adulteress), just like the ahavat Hashem toward the Bnei Yisroel, who look to elohim acharim, and love heathen religion raisin cakes.#3:1 Jer 44:19

2So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of kesef, and for a chomer and a half of se'orim;#3:2 1K 1:18-19 3And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide with me yamim rabbim and shalt not play the zonah, and thou shalt not be for another ish; and thus will I also towards thee. 1 4For the Bnei Yisroel shall abide yamim rabbim without a melech, and without a sar, and without a zevach, and without a matzevah (stone pillar, monument) and without an ephod (sacred vest used for consulting a deity), and without teraphim (household idols); 5Afterward shall the Bnei Yisroel return, and seek Hashem Eloheihem, and Dovid their melech;#3:5 i.e., Moshiach and shall fear Hashem and His goodness in the acharit hayamim (last days).
