Berean Standard Bible

“When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.”

Hosea 11:1

Save as image

Study note

Hosea prophesied to the northern kingdom of Israel, using his own painful marriage as a picture of God's love for an unfaithful people. Chapter 11 shifts to the image of a parent and a child, recalling the exodus from Egypt.
