Person

Hosea (son of Beeri)

호세아 (브에리의 아들)

Named at Hosea 1:1 as the son of Beeri, to whom the LORD’s word came “in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.” 1:2 says, “When the LORD spoke at first by Hosea, the LORD said to Hosea, ‘Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness’”, and 1:3, “So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.” The Korean Revised Version names him again at 1:4 and 1:6 (여호와께서 호세아에게 이르시되), where WEB reads “to him”. The passage 3:1–5 cited here is told in the first person: 3:1 opens “The LORD said to me”, and 3:2 says, “So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley”; no verse of 3:1–5 names the speaker.

Unresolved interpretation: The children Gomer bore in Hosea 1:3–9

Hosea 1:2 says that the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness”, and 1:3, “So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.” The Korean Revised Version reads at 1:2 음란한 자식들을 낳으라, bear children of prostitution, and at 1:3 저가 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매, she conceived and bore a son, with no “him”.

Hosea 1:2 says that the LORD said to Hosea, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness”, and 1:3, “So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son”; 1:6 and 1:8 say that she conceived again and bore a daughter, and that when she had weaned Lo-Ruhamah she conceived and bore a son. WEB has “him” at 1:3 only, not at 1:6 or 1:8, and the Korean Revised Version has it in none of these verses (1:3 저가 잉태하여 아들을 낳으매). No verse of 1:3–9 gives the father of the children by name. This collection records Gomer as the mother of the children of 1:3, 1:6 and 1:8, gives Hosea no relation to them, and does not decide it.

Hosea 1:3 says, “So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim.” 3:1 says that the LORD said to the speaker (“I”), “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress”, and 3:2 that the speaker bought her for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley. The Korean Revised Version reads 그 여인, that woman, at 3:1, where WEB reads “a woman”. No verse of 3:1–5 names the woman, and the text does not say whether she is the Gomer of 1:3. This collection gives the woman of 3:1–5 no entry and does not decide it.
