Hosea 3 – 5
Houses had some interesting assignments. Here he paid for a half who had a husband or steady lover (it’s not clear which) and told her that for his payment age was to stay with him for many days as if she were his wife buy that they would have no conjugal relations either with each other or with anyone else. This was a symbol of Israel having no Good for a period of time, neither the God of Abraham nor any other idol to worship.
I am beginning to realize how wicked Israel was at this time. It truly was approaching the level of Sodom and Gomorrah.
