Guiding Questions: Hosea 3

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. How does Hosea 3:1 repeat instructions already given to the prophet — albeit “this is to be repeated”?
  2. What is the fundamental transgression of Israel as stated in Hosea 3:1?
  3. Is there any reference, at this juncture, to social justice, transgressions, unacceptable economic activities or is it solely idol worship?
  4. How is the solitude of the formally adulterous wife reflected in what will become of Israel (Hosea 3:4)?
  5. Following the “solitude” and the absence of any leadership what will Israel do and was any result of this action stated?
