The word about Ephraim, who feeds on wind, and about Jacob: “In the womb he took his brother by the heel”
바람을 먹는 에브라임과 태에서 형의 발뒤꿈치를 잡은 야곱을 두고 하는 말씀
Hosea 12:1–6: the text says, “Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt. The LORD also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his deeds he will repay him. In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he contended with God. Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us— even the LORD, the God of Armies. The LORD is his name of renown! Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.” These verses carry no formula saying that the LORD speaks. The Korean Revised Version names Jacob at 12:3 (야곱은 태에서 그 형의 발뒤꿈치를 잡았고), where WEB reads “he”, and reads 그 형, his elder brother, where WEB reads “his brother”; at 12:4 it reads 하나님은 벧엘에서 저를 만나셨고, God met him at Bethel, where WEB reads “He found him at Bethel”. WEB runs 12:4 on into 12:5 with a dash (“there he spoke with us— even the LORD, the God of Armies”), where the Korean Revised Version begins 12:5 with a sentence of its own (저는 만군의 하나님 여호와시라). At 12:1 the Korean Revised Version reads 기름을 애굽에 보내도다, sends oil to Egypt, where WEB reads “oil is carried into Egypt”.
