Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 10:10

"When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.""I will chastise them ..." This refers to the judgment about to fall."The peoples shall be gathered against them ..." It is particularly the vast hordes of the Assyrian armies that were prophesied in this."Their two transgressions ..." There is no agreement whatever among scholars as to what these two transgressions were, although it is quite generally... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hosea 10:11

"And Ephraim is a heifer that is taught, that loveth to tread out the grain; but I have passed over her fair neck; I will set a rider upon Ephraim; Judah shall plow, Judah shall break his clods.""Heifer that is taught ..." This agricultural metaphor compares Ephraim to a preferred animal used to "tread out the grain," on the threshing-floor. Such animals were allowed to eat at will from the threshing-floor itself, and consequently were always well-fed, sleek, and fat. This custom of not... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 10:10

Hosea 10:10. It is in my desire, &c.— Houbigant renders it, I will come and chastise them: the nations shall assemble against them, when I shall chastise them for their two transgressions; meaning the two calves of Dan and Beth-el. In their two furrows— Those who adopt these words in their literal sense seem to agree, that the image which the clause presents is that of a pair of heifers yoked to the plough; which I take to be erroneous. For the furrows are two: when they shall bind... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 10:11

Hosea 10:11. And Ephraim, &c.— Houbigant renders the verse thus, Ephraim is a heifer, accustomed to tread out the corn, which she loves; but I will submit her neck to the yoke: I will tame Ephraim. Judah shall plough for himself; Jacob for himself shall break up the ground; as much as to say, "Ephraim loves treading out the corn, as opposed to ploughing;" that is to say, loves the booty not gained by his own labour; or to tread out, and freely eat of the corn, which is not its own; because... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hosea 10:10

10. my desire . . . chastise—expressing God's strong inclination to vindicate His justice against sin, as being the infinitely holy God (Deuteronomy 28:63). the people—Foreign invaders "shall be gathered against them." when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows—image from two oxen ploughing together side by side, in two contiguous furrows: so the Israelites shall join themselves, to unite their powers against all dangers, but it will not save them from My destroying them [CALVIN].... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hosea 10:11

11. taught—that is, accustomed. loveth to tread out . . . corn—a far easier and more self-indulgent work than ploughing. In treading corn, cattle were not bound together under a yoke, but either trod it singly with their feet, or drew a threshing sledge over it (Isaiah 28:27; Isaiah 28:28): they were free to eat some of the corn from time to time, as the law required they should be unmuzzled (Isaiah 28:28- :), so that they grew fat in this work. An image of Israel's freedom, prosperity, and... read more

Israel’s coming war 10:9-15This section also opens with a reference to an event in Israel’s past history (cf. Hosea 9:10; Hosea 10:1; Hosea 11:1). Announcements of war punishment (Hosea 10:9-10; Hosea 10:14-15) bracket Yahweh’s indictment of His people for their sins (Hosea 10:11-13). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 10:10

At the Lord’s chosen time He would chasten (punish, discipline, cf. Hosea 5:2) His people by binding them as prisoners, harnessing them to their sins (cf. Hosea 10:11). Other peoples would oppose them in battle when the Lord had bound them up for being twice guilty. The double guilt in view is probably their original guilt because of their sin at Gibeah and their present guilt because of their sin at Bethel. [Note: Wolff, p. 184.] Another view is that it refers to the sin of forsaking God and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 10:11

Hosea compared Ephraim to a heifer that enjoyed threshing."Threshing was a comparatively light task, made pleasant by the fact that the creature was unmuzzled and free to eat . . . as it pulled the threshing sledge over the gathered corn." [Note: Kidner, pp. 97-98.] Ephraim had abandoned this comparatively light service in preference for becoming yoked to sin (Hosea 10:10). As punishment Yahweh would yoke the people of both Northern and Southern Kingdoms to an enemy who would greatly restrict... read more
