Commentary on Hosea 1:9

Theological / Devotional

Lo-ammi. Heb. Lo’ ‘ammi, “not my people.” Some see in this name a final recognition by Hosea of the adultery of Gomer; that is, the prophet is saying that the child is not of his family. In any event, the name given to the child was symbolic of God’s relationship to the northern kingdom of Israel.

Ye are not my people. In this strong fashion God indicates His rejection of Israel as a nation because of their sins, the severance of His covenant relation with them.
