Hosea 12:13 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. By a prophet (Moses) the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet (Joshua) was he preserved - Joshua succeeded Moses, and brought the Israelites into the promised land; and when they passed the Jordan at Gilgal, he received the covenant of circumcision; and yet this same place was now made by them the seat of idolatry! How blind and how ungrateful!
