Cross References
The Key Word — גָּמַל, va.tig.Molgenerated
The verb גָּמַל (gamal) means to wean, but it also carries the connotation of treating someone adequately or recompensing them. In this context, it specifically refers to the act of weaning Gomer's daughter, Lo-ruhamah, which marks a significant moment of transition.
The parsing indicates that this is a sequential imperfect verb in the third person feminine singular, emphasizing Gomer's ongoing action in the narrative. This verb is used frequently in the Hebrew Bible, highlighting its importance in familial and relational contexts.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In this study, the verse is read in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the phrase weaned, consistent with the KJV and ASV.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תִּגְמֹ֖ל (tigmal), and she weaned, governs the sentence, with two additional clauses following: one describing Gomer's conception and the other her act of giving birth. The structure emphasizes the sequence of actions.
The word order places the weaning first, indicating its significance as a precursor to the subsequent events of conception and birth.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates גָּמַל as ἀπεγαλάκτισεν, which carries the meaning of 'to wean' but may also imply a broader sense of nurturing or raising. This choice reflects a slight widening of the meaning, emphasizing care in the process of weaning.
This translation choice highlights the importance of the act not just as a physical separation but as a nurturing process, which aligns with the themes of compassion and mercy in the context of Hosea.

bor: According to the Book of the Covenant (Ex 20:20-23:33) a slave whom his master had purchased was to be released after six years. Should he choose to remain in his master's service a religious ceremony was necessary to ratify his decision. "Then his master shall bring him unto God" (better than "unto the judges" of the King James Version), "and shall bring him to the door, or unto the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl" (Ex 21:6). It is highly improbable that "unto God" means "to a sanctuary"; for there was no special reason for performing this ceremony near the door of a sanctuary. On the other hand the entrance to a private house was a sacred spot. According to primitive thinking near the door dwelt the household gods whose function it was to…
