NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Hosea employs three preterites (vayyiqtol forms) in verse 13a-b to describe a past-time situation.

²tn Heb “went to” (so NAB, NRSV, TEV); CEV “asked help from.”

³tn Heb “sent to” (so KJV, NIV, NRSV).

⁴tc The MT reads מֶלֶךְ יָרֵב (melekh yarev, “a contentious king”). This is translated as a proper name (“king Jareb”) by KJV, ASV, NASB. However, the stative adjective יָרֵב (“contentious”) is somewhat awkward. The words should be redivided as an archaic genitive-construct מַלְכִּי רָב (malki rav, “great king”; cf. NAB, NIV, NRSV, NLT) which preserves the old genitive hireq yod ending. This is the equivalent of the Assyrian royal epithet sarru rabbu (“the great king”). See also the tc note on the same phrase in 10:6.

⁵tn Heb “your wound will not depart from you.”

⁵sn Hosea personifies Ephraim’s “wound” as if it could depart from the sickly Ephraim (see the formal equivalent rendering in the preceding tn). Ephraim’s sinful action in relying upon an Assyrian treaty for protection will not dispense with its problems.
