Hosea 4:15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Hosea 4:15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 Though you prostitute yourself, Israel,
do not let Judah become guilty!
Do not come to Gilgal,[a]
do not go up to Beth-aven,(A)
do not swear, “As the Lord lives!”(B)
Footnotes
- 4:15 Gilgal: close to Jericho (Jos 4:19–20; 5:2–9). Beth-aven: (lit., “house of iniquity”) Hosea’s derogatory term for the sanctuary of Bethel (lit., “house of God”), the major shrine of the Northern Kingdom (10:5, 8; cf. Am 5:5). As the Lord lives: a legitimate oath formula (1 Sm 26:10, 16), but unacceptable here because Israel is guilty of religious syncretism and the idolatrous worship of other gods.
