Hosea 11.1 |
oti nhpioV Israhl, kai egw
hgaphsa auton, kai
|
ex Aiguptou ekalesa ton uion mou |
for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children |
Out of Egypt did I call my son |
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt |
Comments: The NT agrees with the MT.
The LXX differs, replacing “my son” with “his children.”
Matthew identifies the author of this passage as “the prophet”: “that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.” |
