Hosea 12:12
_ _ Jacob fled ... served — Though ye pride yourselves on the great name of “Israel,” forget not that your progenitor was the same Jacob who was a fugitive, and who served for Rachel fourteen years. He forgot not ME who delivered him when fleeing from Esau, and when oppressed by Laban (Genesis 28:5; Genesis 29:20, Genesis 29:28; Deuteronomy 26:5). Ye, though delivered from Egypt (Hosea 12:13), and loaded with My favors, are yet unwilling to return to Me.
_ _ country of Syria — the champaign region of Syria, the portion lying between the Tigris and Euphrates, hence called Mesopotamia. Padan-aram means the same, that is, “Low Syria,” as opposed to Aramea (meaning the “high country”) or Syria (Genesis 48:7). |
