Hosea
Chapter 3
1
And the Lord said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
Pridie Roxy's Note
Mar 7
"Gomer is now the concubine slave of another--possibly in poor and destitute condition.And yet the prophet's love for her is like Jehovah's love for "the children of Israel, even when they are turned to other gods, and love grape-cakes"--the luscious sacrificial cakes used in idolatrous worship: a term generally descriptive of the licentious accompaniments of the Ashtoreth worship"
