Hosea 12:5 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Even, or and, he that appeared and spake, who promised the blessing, and commanded the reformation at Beth-el, was the Lord, Jehovah, the eternal and unchangeable God, who still promiseth with like commands. God of hosts; who can both perform his promise and execute his threat, who is a most terrible enemy and most desirable friend, all being to us as he is. The Lord, Jehovah, repeated for confirmation, is his memorial; by this he will be known, by this name, by such methods of his sovereignty and grace, Exodus 3:15.

Hosea 12:5

5 Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
