Hosea 9 is the ninth chapter of the Book of Hosea in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] [2] In the Hebrew Bible it is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. [3] [4] This chapter contain prophecies attributed to the prophet Hosea, son of Beeri, about the distress and captivity of Israel for her sins, especially for committing idolatry. [5]
The original text was written in Hebrew language. 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). [6] Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, including 4Q82 (4QXIIg; 25 BCE) with extant verses 1–4, 9–17. [7] [8] [9] [10]
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). [11] [a]
This chapter is divided into 17 verses.
Verses 1-9 and 14-17 are words attributed to Hosea forming "a prophetic diatribe" against religious practice in Ephraim (i.e. the Kingdom of Israel). In verses 10-13 God speaks directly. [13]
The "rejoicing ... like other peoples" refers to Israel's festal worship. [13] The Good News Translation renders this text as People of Israel, stop celebrating your festivals like pagans. [15]
The "days of Gibeah" refers to the "abominable acts" done to the concubine of a Levite ( Judges 19), which almost brought the tribe of Benjamin into extinction, except six hundred men. [17] [5]
