Wesley's Notes

16:19 For a sweet savour - To gain the favour of the idol. Thus it was - All which is undeniable.

King James Translators' Notes

a sweet...: Heb. a savour of rest

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

19. My meat . I gave-(Ho 2:8).

set it before them-as a minchah or "meat offering" (Le 2:1).

a sweet savour-literally, "a savor of rest," that is, whereby they might be propitiated, and be at peace ("rest") with you; how ridiculous to seek to propitiate gods of wood!

thus it was-The fact cannot be denied, for I saw it, and say it was so, saith Jehovah.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:1-58 In this chapter God's dealings with the Jewish nation, and their conduct towards him, are described, and their punishment through the surrounding nations, even those they most trusted in. This is done under the parable of an exposed infant rescued from death, educated, espoused, and richly provided for, but afterwards guilty of the most abandoned conduct, and punished for it; yet at last received into favour, and ashamed of her base conduct. We are not to judge of these expressions by modern ideas, but by those of the times and places in which they were used, where many of them would not sound as they do to us. The design was to raise hatred to idolatry, and such a parable was well suited for that purpose.


Hosea 2:8 "For she does not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the new wine and the oil, And lavished on her silver and gold, Which they used for Baal. (NASB ©1995)
