Hosea / Question
Question source
Hosea
God tells Hosea to marry because “the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the LORD” Hosea 1:2. The marriage is tied directly to Israel’s unfaithfulness toward God in the text.
2When Yahweh spoke at the first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, Go, take to you a wife of prostitution and children of prostitution; for the land does commit great prostitution, [departing] from Yahweh.
