RUHAMAH

One of two symbolic names showing God’s altered perspective toward Israel from one of hostility to one of mercy. God’s attitude of displeasure was symbolized by the name Lo-ruhamah (meaning “Not pitied”), which Hosea named his daughter. God had withdrawn his compassion from Israel because of their great sin (Hos 1:6, 8 OET HOS 1:6 · OET HOS 1:8). His new attitude of mercy was portrayed by the name Ruhamah (meaning “She has obtained pity”), revealing God’s revived spirit of compassion that was to be poured out on Israel (2:1, 23 OET HOS 2:1 · OET HOS 2:23).
