Footnotes
- Hosea 2:23 I will sow her many seeds Jezreel, Lo-Ruhamah, and Lo-Ammi are Hosea’s children. But the names also have special meanings. The name Jezreel means “God will plant seeds.” But Jezreel is also the name of a large valley in Israel. This probably shows that God will bring his people back to Israel.
- Hosea 2:23 Lo-Ruhamah This name in Hebrew means “She receives no mercy.”
- Hosea 2:23 Lo-Ammi This name in Hebrew means “not my people.”
