Hosea 6:3 . Then shall we know, if we follow on, &c. Hebrew, ונדעה נדדפה לדעת , And we shall know, we shall follow on to know the Lord. Then, when we have returned unto the Lord, Hosea 6:1, in sincerity and truth; when he hath torn and healed us, hath smitten and bound us up, hath convinced us of and humbled us for our sins, and converted us to himself, and created us anew; when he hath revived us, raised us up, and made us live; then shall we experimentally know the Lord, as merciful... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hosea 6:1-6

Insincere repentance (6:1-6)In view of God’s warning in the previous chapter (see 5:15), the people decide to make a confession of repentance. But their confession is not sincere. They offer it to God in the hope that it will satisfy him and bring from him a speedy response. If God helps them, their future blessings are guaranteed (6:1-3).God sees that the people’s promise to return to him is nothing but words; their hearts have not changed. They have no covenant loyalty towards God, no love... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 6:2

Hosea 6:2. After two days, &c.— In the style of Scripture, captivity, oppression, servitude, are frequently represented under the name of death; and a deliverance from these evils is called a resurrection,—a return to light,—to life,—new life, &c. We have examples of this in Ezekiel, Daniel, and many other parts of Scripture. The captives in Assyria and Babylon, burdened with the weight of their evils, encourage each other, and say, "Come, let us return to the Lord: he it is who hath... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hosea 6:3

Hosea 6:3. Then shall we know, if, &c.— Let us meet together, therefore, and studiously inquire after the knowledge of the Lord. Houbigant. The captives of Babylon promise themselves that the Lord will come to them, and appear like the brightness of the morning, in the midst of the dark night of their exile; or as the refreshing rain upon the parched earth. So the Lord Jesus Christ, in his resurrection, appeared as the morning, or rather as the rising sun, to illuminate the world. read more

"He shall prolong His days." Compare the similar use of Israel's political resurrection as the type of the... read more

"Then" implies the consequence of the revival in Isaiah 54:13- :. The "if" is not so much conditional, as expressive of the means which God's grace will sanctify to the full enlightenment of Israel in the knowledge of Him.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hosea 6:1-3

B. The restoration promises 6:1-3This first part of chapter 6 envisions Israel’s repentance. The prophet predicted the words that the penitent generation of Israelites would say when they sought the Lord (Hosea 5:15). The message contains two cycles, each containing an exhortation (Hosea 6:1 a, Hosea 6:3 a) and a motivating promise (Hosea 6:1-3 b). [Note: Chisholm, "Hosea," p. 1393.] "Some of the most gracious calls to repentance in all Scripture are found in Hosea 6:1-3 and Hosea 14:1-3."... read more
