Context — God's Judgment Against Israelgenerated

12I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
13I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.
14“Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
15There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

Hosea 2:13 depicts God’s judgment on Israel for her idolatry, particularly her worship of the Baals. This verse illustrates the consequences of turning away from God and highlights the unfaithfulness of Israel, who adorned herself for her lovers while forgetting the true God. The surrounding verses further emphasize the theme of restoration after judgment, showing God's desire to bring His people back to Himself.

The Key Word וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י, u.fa.kad.Tigenerated

The verb פָּקַד (paqad) means to visit or oversee, with implications of judgment or care. In this context, it indicates God's intention to bring punishment upon Israel for her idolatrous actions. The parsing as a sequential perfect first person common singular indicates that this is a definitive action taken by God.

This word carries a weighty connotation of divine oversight, suggesting that God is actively involved in the fate of His people. The use of this verb in a judgment context signals a serious response to Israel's unfaithfulness.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses punish to translate וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb, וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י (and I will visit), governs the entire verse. It is followed by a series of phrases that describe the reasons for this action: the days of the Baals, the acts of idolatry, and the forgetfulness of God.

The structure emphasizes the sequence of Israel's actions leading to God's judgment, with each clause building upon the last to illustrate the depth of her unfaithfulness.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וּפָקַדְתִּ֣י as ἀποστρέψω (apostrēpsō), meaning 'I will turn away.' This choice suggests a broader interpretation of God's action as not only visiting judgment but also turning Israel back to Himself.

This translation reflects a nuanced understanding of divine action, indicating both punishment and the potential for restoration.

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Verse 13. Days of Baalim] To visit signifies to inflict punishment; the days are taken for the acts of idolatrous worship committed on them; and Baalim means the multitude of false gods worshipped by them. Baal was a general name for a male idol, as Astarte was for a female. Baalim includes all the male idols, as Ashtaroth all those that were female. But the species of idol was often designated by some adjunct; as Baal-Zebub, Baal-Peor, Baal-Zephon, Baal-Berith, &c. Her earrings] נזמה nizmah, signifies rather a nose jewel. These are worn by females in the East to the present day, in great abundance. And her jewels] וחליתה vechelyatah, rings, armlets, bracelets, ankle-rings, and ornaments of…

13. I will visit upon her the days of Baalim] To ‘visit’ is to examine or take notice of, whether in a favourable sense or the reverse. ‘Baalim’ should rather be the Baalim (the various local Baals). Hosea has referred to the holydays of Jehovah (Hosea 2:11); now he complains of the holydays of the Baalim, which, there is reason to think, are, in name at least, the same holydays as those of the more spiritual worshippers of Jehovah (new moons, sabbaths, and festal assemblies), but differing from these in the total absence of a spiritual element. They are in fact nothing better than sensual merry-makings and displays of finery such as the heathen loved at the turning-points of the…

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
