There was a fishy flavor to the milk, too, which I could not at all account for, till one morning happening to take a stroll along the beach among some fishermen's boats, I saw Hosea's brindled cow feeding on fish remnants, and marching along the sand with each foot in a cod's decapitated head, looking very slipshod, I assure ye. Supper concluded, we received a lamp, and directions from Mrs.
But scarcely had he performed the task of repetition when, with impetuous earnestness, he grasped Hosea's hand and besought him to tell him whether he had any cause to fear for his life. The warrior clasped him affectionately in his arms and answered that he hoped he had entrusted this message to him only to have it forgotten.
So shall Beth-el do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off. HOSEA x. 1-15. The prophecy of this chapter has two themes Israel's sin, and its punishment. These recur again and again. Reiteration, not progress of thought, characterises Hosea's fiery stream of inspired eloquence.
He had anticipated that very day surprising him with the news that he had been promoted above men many years his seniors and of Egyptian lineage. Instead of the slights Nun had dreaded, Hosea's gallant bearing, courage and, as he modestly added, good-fortune had gained him promotion, yet he had remained a Hebrew.
Shortly after Hosea's departure the chief-priest died and, on the same day Bai, the second prophet, became his successor. Many changes now took place, and the most powerful man in the kingdom filled Pharaoh with hatred of the Hebrews and their leader, Mesu, whom he and the queen had hitherto protected and feared.

"Consider all this, and remember that Hosea's ancestress he boasted of it in your own presence was an Egyptian, the daughter of a man of my own class." "How many generations have passed to the tomb since?" "No matter!
She had not yet doubted Hosea's coming; for the summons she had sent to him in the name of the Lord had undoubtedly reached him; but now that the stars showed her it was past midnight, the thought came vividly before her mind of the many years he had spent among the Egyptians, and that he might perhaps deem it unworthy of a man to obey the call of a woman, even if she uplifted her voice in the name of the Most High.
We have Hosea's nephew in the snare, and it will be your part not to let him escape." "Do you mean that we are to deprive him of his liberty?" cried the warrior. "Even so." "Yet you value his uncle?" "Certainly. But the state has a higher claim." "This boy...." "Is a desirable hostage.
These he guarded with a determination which he never roused himself to display in matters of graver import. The condescending graciousness of Pharaoh's reception awakened feelings of mingled pleasure and distrust in Hosea's mind, but he summoned courage to frankly express his desire to be relieved from his office and the oath he had sworn to his sovereign. Pharaoh listened quietly.
But had not Joseph, Ephraim, and his sons, Hosea's ancestors, been called his subjects and lived content to be numbered among the Egyptians. If the covenant was made, the elders of the tribes were to direct the private concerns of the people.
