Prophet Pearls #7 – Vayeitzei (Hosea 12:12-14:9)

In this episode of Prophet Pearls, Vayetizei (Hosea 12:12-14:9), with the ear of the fluent, Nehemia Gordon informs us of the unique structures and forms of Hebrew used in the northern kingdom, and by its only prophet whose book has survived—Hosea. We learn of Hosea’s penchant for transient imagery, his “Jewish mother” tendencies, and his eight-step prayer. Word studies include: “the shepherd,” “the Leviathan,” “Ephraim,” “sheol,” “moshia,” “kissing calves,” “heal,” and the faulty connection between “bulls” and “fruit.” We also learn that while God prefers mercy over sacrifice, there is one thing for which he shows none. "For the ways of Yehovah are straight; the righteous will walk in them,<br /> but transgressors will stumble in them." Hosea 14:9[10] I look forward to reading your comments! https://audio.nehemiaswall.com..../Prophet-Pearls/Prop Download Prophet Pearls Vayeitzei Transcript Prophet Pearls #7 - Vayeitzei (Hosea 12:12-14:9)<br /> You are listening to Prophet Pearls with Nehemia Gordon and Keith Johnson.
