Hosea 11, the eleventh chapter of the Book of Hosea in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, [1] [2] has been called "one of the high points in the Old Testament". [3] In the Hebrew Bible is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. [4] [5] According to the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary, this chapter contains prophecies attributed to the prophet Hosea, son of Beeri, about God's former benefits, and Israel's ingratitude resulting in punishment, but God still promises restoration. [6]
The original text was written in Hebrew. This chapter is divided into 12 verses in Christian Bibles, but 11 verses in the Hebrew Bible, with verse 12 transferred to the start of chapter 12. [7] [8] This article generally follows the common numbering in Christian English Bible versions, with notes to the numbering in Hebrew Bible versions.
Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), the Petersburg Codex of the Prophets (916), Aleppo Codex (10th century), Codex Leningradensis (1008). [9] Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, including 4Q82 (4QXIIg; 25 BCE) with extant verses 2–12 (verse 11:12 = 12:1 in Masoretic Text). [10] [11] [12] [13]
There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint, made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of the Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century), Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century) and Codex Marchalianus (Q; Q; 6th century). [14] [a]
Biblical scholar John Day describes this section as portraying God's "inextinguishable" love, leading him to call it "one of the high points in the Old Testament". [3]
Verses 8–9 form one of the most moving passages in the Hebrew Bible, where YHWH struggles with the anguish of his love, that he cannot totally destroy Israel as he did Admah and Zeboim. [25]
This verse is probably a later addition. [3]
(Verse 12:1 in the Hebrew Bible)
An allusion to Israel's lies and deceit, which also mentions Judah. It resonates with Hosea 12:1, 3, 7. [25]
