Mayer I. Gruber provides a new commentary on and translation of
Hosea. Building upon his work that debunked the myth of sacred
prostitution, Gruber now goes on to show that the book of Hosea
repeatedly advocates a single standard of marital fidelity for men
and women and teaches cheated women to fight back. Gruber employs
the latest and most precise findings of lexicography and poetics to
solve the difficulties of the text and to determine both how Hosea
can be read and what this means. The translation differs from
classical and recent renderings in eliminating forms and
expressions, which are neither modern English nor ancient Hebrew.
Referring to places, events, and material reality of the 9th and
8th centuries BCE, Gruber uncovers the abiding messages of the
heretofore obscure book of Hosea. As in previous studies, Gruber
employs the insights of behavioral sciences to uncover forgotten
meanings of numerous allusions, idioms, similes, and metaphors.
Judicious use is made also of textual history, reception history,
and personal voice criticism. One of the least biblical books now
speaks more clearly to present and future audiences than it did to
many previous audiences.
