Guiding Questions: Hosea 6

This is part of the Tanakh Yomi Project.

  1. Once again, does the prophecy begin with any introduction as to its source, location?
  2. Who is speaking when it is said “let us return to God for He tore us asunder but will hear us; he struck us but he will bind up our wounds”?
  3. In Hosea 6:4-6 what is the response of Divinity; is it positive?
  4. According to Hosea 6:6, what is the primary concern — formal observances or something other?
  5. In particular, is the castigation addressed to all of the people or to the leadership?
  6. And, why is the reference in Hosea 6:11 at the conclusion of this particular passage?
