SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:9–15: The LORD will punish Israel

In this section, the LORD (10:9–11) and Hosea (10:12–15) warn the people of Israel that the LORD will punish them because of their past and current sin. This section includes figures of speech from agriculture that the Israelites in Hosea’s time would clearly understand. Some examples are comparisons of the people to farm animals (10:11) and to farmers (10:12–13).

Here are some other examples of section headings:

The Lord Pronounces Judgment on Israel (GNT)

The Lord Promises to Punish Israel (CEV)

Paragraph 10:12–15

Hosea is the speaker in this paragraph. He speaks to the people directly, using second person pronouns such as “you” and “yourselves.” He urges the people to seek the LORD instead of sinning as in their past. He also warns them how terrible the future judgment will be.

10:14

This verse gives the result of Israel’s self-reliance in 10:13d. An enemy will attack them. In Hebrew, this result is not explicit. Some versions make it explicit by using a word that introduces a result. For example:

therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people (RSV)

So war will break out (CEV)

Use a natural way in your language to introduce a result.

10:14a

the roar of battle will rise against your people,

that is why the sounds of war will be heard among your^(sing/plur) people,
So war will begin/come against your people,

the roar of battle will rise against your people: In Hebrew, this clause is more literally “an uproar will arise among your people.” This Hebrew phrase is a figure of speech (metonymy) that indicates a war against Israel will soon begin. This battle/war probably refers to the invasion of Israel by the Assyrian army.McComiskey (page 181), Wood (page 211). Many versions make it explicit that this clause refers to warfare. For example:

therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people (ESV)

your people will hear the noise of battle (NCV)

Some versions do not include the metonymy, “an uproar will arise.” Instead, they state the meaning directly. For example:

war will come to your people (GNT)

10:14b

so that all your fortresses will be demolished

and even your strongest fortresses will be destroyed.
and all of your buildings and cities with thick stone walls will collapse.

so that all your fortresses will be demolished: This clause describes the war in more detail. The enemy army will destroy even the most well protected places in Israel.

The Hebrew word for fortresses means buildings or cities that have very thick, strong, stone walls to protect them.TWOT (#270g). For example:

and all your strong, walled cities will be destroyed (NCV)

All your fortifications will fall (NLT)

10:14c–d

as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children: 10:14c–d gives an example to illustrate how severe the Assyrian war will be. The severity will be comparable to a past war. The Hebrew text and most versions introduce the comparison with a comparative word or phrase. For example:

as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle (ESV)

just as when Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel (NLT)

It will be like the day when King Shalman destroyed the city of Betharbel in battle (GNT)

Use a natural way in your language to introduce the comparison.

10:14c

as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle,

It will be like the terrible destruction of Beth Arbel when Shalman attacked it
You^(sing/plur) will be completely destroyed just as when Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel on that day of battle,

as Shalman devastated Beth-arbel in the day of battle: This clause refers to a past battle that was no doubt known to the people in Hosea’s time.Wood (page 211), Davies (page 248), McComiskey (page 181), and Stuart (page 166). Modern scholars, however, do not know who Shalman is, where Beth-arbel is, or when the battle occurred.Some scholars speculate that the name, Shalman, refers to Shalmanezer III or Shalmanezer V, past kings of Assyria, or else Salmanu, a king of Moab. Many scholars speculate that Beth Arbel may be modern day Irbid, Jordan.

the day of battle: This expression refers to the time that the battle occurred. Some versions leave this information implied.

Here are some other ways to say it:

in battle (GW)

when that battle happened

10:14d

when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children.

and bashed to death mothers with their children.
when soldiers brutally slaughtered mothers and their children.

when mothers were dashed to pieces along with their children: This clause is more literally “mother with children was dashed in pieces.” It describes the extreme brutality of the slaughter.It is possible that this is an expression that refers to extreme slaughter. In that case the meaning may not be limited to only mothers and/or children. Keil (page 88–89) calls it a proverbial expression denoting inhuman cruelty. Andersen and Freedman (page 571) suggests that “mother beside (or upon) children” is an idiom that may mean the murder of children in front of their parents before the parents were slain.

The Hebrew word for dashed to pieces means “to smite, smash, dash to pieces.”TWOT (#2158). Andersen and Freedman (page 571), states that the verb can describe hurling of children against rock, dropping from a height, or smashing skulls.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

mothers and their children were crushed to death (GNT)

when mothers and their children were bashed to death. (NCV)
