Hosea 2:17

Context

2:17 For 1  I will remove the names of the Baal idols 2  from your lips, 3 

so that you will never again utter their names!” 4 

1 tn The vav consecutive prefixed to וַהֲסִרֹתִי (vahasiroti) “I will remove” (vav consecutive + Hiphil perfect 1st person common singular) introduces an explanatory clause.

2 tn Heb “the Baals.” The singular term בַּעַל (baal) refers to the Canaanite god Baal himself, while the plural form הַבְּעָלִים (habbéalim) refers to the manifestations of the god (i.e., idols; BDB 127 s.v. בָּעַל II.1).

3 tn Heb “from her mouth.” In the translation this is rendered as second person for consistency.

4 tn Heb “they will no longer be mentioned by their name.”
