Hosea 2:15
New English Translation
15 From there I will give back her vineyards to her,
and turn the ‘Valley of Trouble’[a] into an ‘Opportunity[b] for Hope.’
There she will sing as she did when she was young,[c]
when[d] she came up from the land of Egypt.
Footnotes
- Hosea 2:15 tn Heb “Valley of Achor,” so named because of the unfortunate incident recorded in Josh 7:1-26 (the name is explained in v. 26; the Hebrew term Achor means “disaster” or “trouble” [cf. TEV, CEV “Trouble Valley”]).
- Hosea 2:15 tn Heb “door” or “doorway”; cf. NLT “gateway.” Unlike the days of Joshua, when Achan’s sin jeopardized Israel’s mission and cast a dark shadow over the nation, Israel’s future return to the land will be marked by renewed hope.
- Hosea 2:15 tn Heb “as in the days of her youth” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).
- Hosea 2:15 tn Heb “as in the day when” (so KJV, NASB).
