Cross-References
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness covered the surface of the watery depths, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.
God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” There was an evening, and there was a morning: one day.
Then God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters, separating water from water.”
God called the expanse “sky.” Evening came and then morning: the second day.
Then God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.
Then God said, “Let the earth produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds.” And it was so.
God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.”
God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This will be food for you,
He stretches the northern skies over empty space;he hangs the earth on nothing.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then said God, call his name Loammi,.... Which Aben Ezra interprets of the children of the ten tribes horn in captivity, who never returned; but it rather signifies the ten tribes themselves, who were carried captive and had this name given them for the reason following:
for ye are not my people; though he had chosen them to be his people above all people, and had distinguished them from others by various blessings and privileges; yet they did not behave as such to him; they did not serve, obey, and worship him, but the calves at Dan and Bethel; and therefore did not deserve the name of his people: hence he says,
and I will not be your or "yours" a; that is, as we supply it, and so Aben Ezra, "your God"; will not behave toward you as such; will not take you under my care and protection, or continue you in your land, and in the enjoyment of the blessings of it; will not be your King, patron, and defender, but give you up into the hands of your enemies. This respects the captivity of the ten tribes by Shalmaneser,
2 Kings 17:6. The Targum is,
"for ye are not my people; because ye do not confirm the words of my law, my word shall not be your help.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Call his name Lo-ammi - that is, ânot My people.â The name of this third child expresses the last final degree of chastisement. As the âscattering by Godâ did not involve the being wholly âunpitied;â so neither did the being wholly âunpitiedâ for the time involve the being wholly rejected, so as to be no more His people. There were corresponding degrees in the actual history of the kingdom of Israel. God withdrew his protection by degrees. Under Jeroboam, in whose reign was this beginning of Hoseaâs prophecy, the people was yet outwardly strong. This strength has been thought to be expressed by the sex of the oldest child, that he was a son. On this, followed extreme weakness, full of mutual massacre and horrible cruelty, first, in a long anarchy, then under Zechariah, Shallurn, Menahem, Pekahiah, Pekah, Hosea, within, and through the invasions of Pul, Tiglathpileser, Shalmaneser, kings of Assyria, from without. The sex of the daughter, âLo Ruhamah, Unpitied,â corresponds with this increasing weakness, and breaking of the spirit. When she was weaned, i. e., when the people were deprived of all consolation and all the spiritual food whereby they had here to been supported, prophecy, teaching, promises, sacrifices, grace, favor, consolation, it became wholly âLo-ammi, not My people.â As a distinct part of Godâs people, it was cast off forever; and yet it became outwardly strong, as the Jews became powerful, and often were the persecutors of the Christians. The same is seen in individuals. God often first chastens them lightly, then more heavily, and brings them down in their iniquities; but if they still harden themselves, He withdraws both His chastisements and His grace, so that the sinner even prospers in this world, but, remaining finally impenitent, is cast off forever.
I will not be your God - Literally âI will not be to you,â or, âfor you;â âfor you,â by providence; âto you,â by love. The words say the more through their silence. They do not say what God will not be to those who had been His people. They do not say that He will not be their Defender, Nourisher, Saviour, Deliverer, Father, Hope, Refuge; and so they say that He will be none of these, which are all included in the English, âI will not be your God.â For, as God, He is these, and all things, to us. âI will not be to you.â God, by His love, vouchsafes to give all and to take all. He gives Himself wholly to His own, in order to make them wholly His. He makes an exchange with them. As God the Son, by His Incarnation, took the Manhood into God, so, by His Spirit dwelling in them, He makes men gods, âpartakers of the Divine Natureâ 2 Peter 1:4. They, by His adoption, belong to Him; He, by His promise and gift, belongs to them.
He makes them His; He becomes theirâs. This mutual exchange is so often expressed in Holy Scripture, to show how God loveth to give Himself to us, and to make us His; and that where the one is, there is the other; nor can the one be without the other. This was the original covenant with Israel: âI will be your God, and you shall be My peopleâ Leviticus 26:12; Exodus 6:7; and as such, it is often repeated in Jeremiah Jeremiah 11:4-5; Jeremiah 24:7; Jeremiah 30:22; Jeremiah 31:1, Jeremiah 31:33; Jeremiah 32:38 and Ezekiel Ezekiel 11:20; Ezekiel 14:11; Ezekiel 36:28; Ezekiel 37:23, Ezekiel 37:27. Afterward, this is expressed still more affectionately. âI will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughtersâ 2 Corinthians 6:18. And in Christ the Son, God saith, âI will be his Father, and he shall be My sonâ 2 Samuel 7:14. God, who saith not this to any out of Christ, nor even to the holy Angels, (as it is written, âUnto which of the Angels said He at any time, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to Me a son?â Hebrews 1:5), saith it to us in Christ. And so, in turn, the Church and each single soul which is His, saith, or rather He saith it in them Song of Solomon 2:16, âMy beloved is mine, and I am His,â and more boldly yet, I am my Belovedâs, and my Beloved is mineâ Song of Solomon 6:3. Whence also at the holy communion we say, âthen we dwell in Christ and Christ in us; we are one with Christ, and Christ with us;â and we pray that âwe may evermore dwell in Him, and He in us.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Hosea 1:9. Call his name Lo-ammi — ×× ×¢×× Lo-ammi, "Not my people;" for which the reason is immediately given:
Ye are not my people, and I will not be your God.] The word GOD is not added here by any of the ancient versions or MSS.; and yet the construction absolutely requires it, as Houbigant properly observes, who thinks the present reading ×× ×××× ××× lo eheyeh lachem, "I will not be to you," a corruption of the word ×××××× eloheychem, "your God." It is strange that no various reading occurs on this verse in any MS. yet discovered. In two of the oldest of mine there is a blank of half a line left after the last word; and so it is in the Masoretic Bibles, though the sense is not complete; for it is evidently continued in the following verse. Probably God refers to the words, Exodus 3:14: ×××× ×שר ×××× I am that I am. I am, ×××× eheyeh, - I shall be, hath sent me unto you. I will not be your eheyeh, i.e., I will not be your God.
