Commentary on Hosea 4:8

Theological / Devotional

Sin. Heb. chatta’th, “sin,” or “sin offering.” This passage probably describes the greedy priests who encouraged sin by urging the people to bring more and more sacrifices, since they ate the meat of these sacrifices (Lev. 6:26), and no doubt built up a traffic in such meat (see on 1 Sam. 2:12). The more sins, the more sacrifices, and so the greater profit and pleasure.
