Hosea 1
1
God Commands Hosea to Start a Family
1The word of Yahweh that came to Hosea son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
2At the beginning when Yahweh spoke#Literally “At the beginning of the talking of Yahweh” through Hosea,
Yahweh said to Hosea,
“Go, take for yourself a wife and children of whoredom,
because the land commits great whoredom
forsaking Yahweh.”#Literally “from behind Yahweh”
3So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim,
and she conceived and bore him a son.
4And Yahweh said to him,
“Name him#Literally “Call his name” Jezreel;#Jezreel means “God sows”
because in a little while I will punish#Literally “I will visit sin upon” the house of Jehu#Or “the dynasty of Jehu”
for the blood#Or “bloodshed” of Jezreel,#Jezreel means “God sows”
and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.#Or “the dynasty of Israel”
5On that day#Literally “And it will happen on that day”
I will break the bow of Israel
in the Valley of Jezreel.”
6And she conceived again and bore a daughter, and he#Yahweh said to him,
“Name her#Literally “Call her name” Lo-ruhamah,#Lo-ruhamah means “Not pitied”
for I will no longer have pity
on the house of Israel
or forgive them.#Literally “raise them up”
7But I will have pity on the house of Judah
and I will save them by Yahweh their God,
and will not deliver them
by bow, sword, war,
horses, or horsemen.
8And when she had weaned Lo-ruhamah,#Lo-ruhamah means “Not pitied” she conceived and bore a son.
9And he#Yahweh said, “Name him#Literally “Call his name” Lo-ammi,#Lo-ammi means “not my people”
for you are not my people
and I am not your God.#Hebrew “not yours”
10#Hosea 1:10–2:23 in the English Bible is 2:1–25 in the Hebrew Bible The number of the children of Israel
will be like the sand of the sea
that cannot be measured or counted;
and in the place where it is said to them,
“You are not my people,”
it will be said to them,
“Children of the living God.”
11Then the children of Judah
and Israel will be gathered together,
and they will appoint for themselves
one head;
and they will take possession of#Literally “they will go up from” the land,
for great is the day of Jezreel.#Jezreel means “God sows”

Hoshĕa (Hosea) 1
1
1The word of יהוה that came to Hoshĕa son of Be’ĕri, in the days of Uzziyah, Yotham, Aḥaz, and Yeḥizqiyah, sovereigns of Yehuḏah, and in the days of Yaroḇ‛am son of Yo’ash, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl.
2The beginning of the word of יהוה with Hoshĕa. And יהוה said to Hoshĕa, “Go, take yourself a woman of whoring and children of whoring, for the land has utterly whored away from יהוה.”
3So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Diḇlayim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
4And יהוה said to him, “Call his name Yizre‛ĕl, for in a little while I shall revenge the bloodshed of Yizre‛ĕl on the house of Yĕhu, and put an end to the reign of the house of Yisra’ĕl.
5“And it shall be in that day that I shall break the bow of Yisra’ĕl in the Valley of Yizre‛ĕl.”
6And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And He said to him, “Call her name Lo-Ruḥamah, for no longer do I have compassion on the house of Yisra’ĕl so as to forgive them at all.
7“But I shall have compassion on the house of Yehuḏah and save them by יהוה their Elohim, and not save them by bow or by sword or battle, by horses or horsemen.”
8And she weaned Lo-Ruḥamah, and conceived and bore a son,
9then He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not for you.
10“Yet the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be as the sand of the sea, which is not measured nor counted. And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they shall be called, ‘You are the sons of the living Ěl.’
11“And the children of Yehuḏah and the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be gathered together, and appoint for themselves one head, and shall come up out of the earth, for great is the day of Yizre‛ĕl!
