Hosea 3:3
_ _ abide for me — separate from intercourse with any other man, and remaining for me who have redeemed thee (compare Deuteronomy 21:13).
_ _ so will I also be for thee — remain for thee, not taking any other consort. As Israel should long remain without serving other gods, yet separate from Jehovah; so Jehovah on His part, in this long period of estrangement, would form no marriage covenant with any other people (compare Hosea 3:4). He would not immediately receive her to marriage privileges, but would test her repentance and discipline her by the long probation; still the marriage covenant would hold good, she was to be kept separated for but a time, not divorced (Isaiah 50:1); in God’s good time she shall be restored. |
Hosea 3:3
Abide for me — Thou shalt wait unmarried, until I espouse thee. |

(d) I will try you a long time as in your widowhood, whether you will be mine or not. |
- Thou shalt abide:
Deuteronomy 21:13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
