Reversal of the Exodus: Return to Egypt and Exile in Assyria

11:1When Israel was a young man, I loved him like a son,1

and I summoned my son2 out of Egypt.

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 1 The words “like a son” are not in the Hebrew text, but are necessary to clarify what sort of love is intended (cf. also ).
  2. 2 The reads בְנִי (véni, “My son”); however, the reflects בָנָיו (vanav, “his sons”). The should be retained as original here because of internal evidence; it is much more appropriate to the context.
