Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hosea 10:5

_ _ fear because of the calves — that is, shall fear for them.

_ _ Beth-aven — substituted for Beth-el in contempt (Hosea 4:15).

_ _ itsingular, the one in Beth-el; after the pattern of which the other “calves” (plural) were made. “Calves” in the Hebrew is feminine, to express contempt.

_ _ priests — The Hebrew is only used of idolatrous priests (2 Kings 23:5; Zephaniah 1:4), from a root meaning either “the black garment” in which they were attired; or, “to resound,” referring to their howling cries in their sacred rites [Calvin].

_ _ that rejoiced on it — because it was a source of gain to them. Maurer translates, “Shall leap in trepidation on account of it”; as Baal’s priests did (1 Kings 18:26).

_ _ the glory thereof — the magnificence of its ornaments and its worship.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hosea 10:1-8.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hosea 10:5

Because of the calves — Because they had sinned by these calves, therefore did this fear seize them. The people — They who dwelt at Beth — aven. That rejoiced on it — These priests formerly were fed, clothed, and enriched by this idol, this made them right glad. The glory thereof — All its credit is vanished. Is departed — The Assyrians have either broken it, or carried it in derision into Assyria.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes
