1. Hoshea 12-14 - Matan Al HaPerek

   Rabbi David Sabato

   Central to the prophecy of rebuke which appears in Chapter 12 are fraud and deception, which characterize the people’s actions in Hoshea’s time. Throughout the perek, scenes from the life of Yaakov Avinu serve as background and basis for the rebuke of his descendants.

   The rebuke in Chapter 13 is mostly devoted to an attack on the worship of the golden calves in the kingdom of Israel.

   The book of Hoshea ends with a prophecy of consolation. There is a sense of progression moving from the failed earlier attempts at repentance to the people's more sincere, effective repentance followed by God’s responsiveness.

3. Sefer Hoshea: Archaeology

   Nachliel Selavan | 13 minutes

   Hoshea begins the “twelve prophets” or תרי עשר, which span a period of over 300 years. Amos is actually the first prophet, but Hoshea is chosen to open the series for thematic and poetic reasons.

   Hoshea is probably from the tribe of Reuven, and he operated in the Kingdom of Israel, during the lifetime of the prophets Amos, Yeshayahu and Micha; his prophecy dealt with the moral decay in the kingdom of Yisrael, mostly, and he rebuked the over-reliance on Assyria, the rising world superpower.
