# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Yahweh is speaking to Hosea about what he will do for Israel.
|
|
|
|
# I will promise to be your husband forever
|
|
|
|
Yahweh will be like the husband, and Israel will be like Yahweh's wife. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# in righteousness, justice, covenant faithfulness, and mercy
|
|
|
|
This can be restated to remove the abstract nouns. AT: "and do what is right, just, faithful, and merciful" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
|
|
|
|
# you will know Yahweh
|
|
|
|
Here "know" means to acknowledge Yahweh as their God and to be faithful to him. |
