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.

10:15a

Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel,

Thus it will be done to you, O Bethel: This clause indicates that what will happen to Bethel is similar to what happened at Beth Arbel. Just like Shalman brutally destroyed that city, someone will brutally destroy Bethel also. The word Thus introduces this comparison.

Here are some other ways to introduce this comparison:

You will share that fate, Bethel (NLT)

So will it happen to you, O Bethel (NET)

it will be done to you, O Bethel: In Hebrew, this clause is more literally “he/it will doIn Hebrew this is a perfect verb form. In this instance, most commentators describe the verb as “prophetic perfect.” It describes future action as if it were already accomplished. See Keil (page 89), Hubbard (page 184), McComiskey (page 181), Andersen and Freedman (page 571) and Macintosh (page 431). to you Bethel.” The Hebrew clause does not specify the referent of “he/it.” There are two main interpretations:

  1. The referent is intentionally impersonal.Macintosh (page 431). Hosea directs the reader’s attention to what will happen, not to who or what does the action. For example:

    so it shall be done to you, Bethel. (NJB) (BSB, CEV, ESV, GNT, GW, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NJB, NLT, NRSV, REB)

  2. The referent is Bethel.Bethel, as the site of the evils of idolatry, has brought about the coming disaster. Keil (page 89) and McComiskey (page 181). Davies (page 249) lists this as one possibility. In this interpretation Bethel is the agent, not a vocative. For example:

    So shall Bethel do unto you (KJV) (KJV, NJPS)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1) along with most versions.

to you, O Bethel: There is a textual issue here:

  1. The Masoretic Text has “to you Bethel.” For example:

    so it shall be done to you, Bethel (NJB) (BSB, CEV, ESV, GNT, GW, KJV, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NJB, NJPS, NLT, NRSV, REB)

  2. The LXX has “to you, House of Israel.” For example:

    Thus it shall be done to you, O house of Israel (RSV) (RSV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1) along with most versions.In support of option (1), Andersen and Freedman (page 572) notes that Bethel is a better parallel to Beth Arbel, especially as both are cities. Also, Bethel has symbolic importance as a shrine of antiquity and as center of the calf cult and its royal patronage in the northern kingdom.

In Hebrew, these words are literally “to you (plur) Bethel (sing).” The plural you probably refers to the individual people of the city of Bethel. In Hebrew, Hosea speaks directly to the city of Bethel as one would speak to a person. However, to address a city in this way may not be natural in some languages.

Here are some other ways to translate this vocative:

That is what will happen to you, people of Bethel (GNT)

Thus it will be done to you at Bethel (NASB)

Use a vocative that is natural in your language when a person speaks to a group of people.

10:15b

because of your great wickedness.

because of your great wickedness: This statement gives the reason why Bethel will be destroyed. Bethel was the center of worship of the calf idol, and it represented the extreme wickedness of Israel.Wood (page 211). In Hebrew, the word because here is literally “from-the face-of.” It is a Hebrew expression that means “by reason of.”HALOT (electronic ed., page 943) D.5.d.ii.

Here are some other ways to translate this statement:

because of the terrible evil that you have done (GNT)

because you did so much evil. (NCV)

For your horrible wickedness (NJPS)

10:15c

When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off.

When the day dawns, the king of Israel will be utterly cut off: This clause indicates that the enemy soldiers (Assyrian army) will quickly capture and imprison the king of Israel very early in the war. See 2 Kings 17:4, 5.Wood (page 211) and Stuart (page 172) note that the Assyrians under Shalmaneser V captured king Hoshea, the final king of Israel, even before the siege of Samaria began. Also see Macintosh (page 432) and Davies (page 249). Some versions make this meaning explicit. For example:

as swiftly as the passing of dawn, the king of Israel will be swept away. (REB)

When the day dawns: There is a textual issue here:

  1. The Masoretic Text has “at the dawn.” For example:

    At dawn the king of Israel will be completely cut off. (NRSV) (CBSB, EV, ESV, GNT, GW, KJV, NASB, NCV, NET, NIV, NJB, NJPS, NLT, NRSV, REB)

  2. Some scholars think that the original text was “in the storm.” For example:

    In the storm the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off. (RSV) (RSV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1) along with most versions.

The word “dawn” refers to early morning just before sunrise.” It was common to start a battle early in the day to give the attackers the advantage of surprise.According to Andersen and Freedman (page 572), an attack at dawn would have the advantage of surprise and give the soldiers an entire day to do battle. See also McComiskey (page 182) and Hubbard (page 184).

the king of Israel will be utterly cut off: This clause means that the Assyrians will take captive the king of Israel, king Hoshea.Stuart (page 172) and Davies (page 250). It also means that no other Israelite kings will rule after him.Andersen and Freedman (page 572), Keil (page 89), and McComiskey (page 182).

Here are some ways to translate this whole verse part:

at dawn, the king of Israel will be no more (NJB)

As soon as the battle begins at daybreak, the position of “king of Israel” will be gone.

This clause is more literally “the king of Israel destroyed he will be destroyed.” In Hebrew, this repetition intensifies the meaning.

Here are some ways to indicate this intensity:

the king of Israel will be completely destroyed. (NIV)

the ruling of any king of Israel will completely end.
