translationNotes

  • God is speaking to Hosea about what he will do for Israel.
  • I will promise to be your husband forever - Yahweh will be like the husband, and Israel will be like Yahweh's wife. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor)
  • I will promise to be your husband in faithfulness - Yahweh will be faithful to his covenant with Israel; because of this, Israel will hopefully remain faithful to Yahweh.
  • And you will know me, Yahweh - Here "know" means to recognize Yahweh as their God.
