Footnotes
Hosea 1:4 Jezreel This name in Hebrew means “God will plant seeds.”
Hosea 1:4 people … at Jezreel Valley See 2 Kings 9-10 for the story of Jehu’s revolt at Jezreel Valley.
Hosea 1:4 nation Literally, “house.” This might mean the royal family of that country. Also in verse 6.
Hosea 1:6 Lo-Ruhamah This name in Hebrew means “She receives no mercy.” Also in verse 8.
Hosea 1:7 by my own power Literally, “by the Lord their God.”
Hosea 1:9 Lo-Ammi This name in Hebrew means “not my people.”
Hosea 1:11 their nation … land Literally, “they will go up from the land.”
Hosea 2:1 Or “Then say to your brothers, ‘My people,’ and to your sisters, ‘You have been shown mercy.’”
Hosea 2:2 mother This means the nation of Israel.
Hosea 2:2 her lovers Or “adulteries.” Adultery means breaking a marriage promise by sexual sin. God was like a husband to Israel. But Israel was worshiping false gods—this was spiritual adultery against God.

Hosea 2:10 power Literally, “hand.”
Hosea 2:13 false gods Literally, “Baals.”

Hosea 2:23 I will sow her many seeds Jezreel, Lo-Ruhamah, and Lo-Ammi are Hosea’s children. But the names also have special meanings. The name Jezreel means “God will plant seeds.” But Jezreel is also the name of a large valley in Israel. This probably shows that God will bring his people back to Israel.
