A Great Word
The prophet Hose* preached in '
a very "religious" era. At least. !
that is what his fellow citizens 1
may have thought There were ?
temples crowded with worship- ?
per*, there were treasuries piled ?
high with tithes and offerings. The ?
smoke of burning animals con- '
sumed as sacrifices to the Most
High God could be seen rising
above every important city, espe
cially in Jerusalem and Bethel,
"religious capitals" of the little
countries of Judah and Israel
What the contemporaries of {loses
thought God wanted was Jublic j
ies. at- >
worship, rites and ceremonies, at- j
tendance at the temple, plenty of >
animals tor sacrifice. Hosea knew |
better. In memorably simple words (
he says, speaking for God. '1 de- i
air* . . ." At this point our Eng- ?
lish translators of the Hebrew Old I
Testament?it should never be tor- t
gotten that no part of the original j
Bible was written in English?our ;
translators run into trouble. The
Hebrew word Hosea used at this
point is "chased" (pronounced
rather Ukl "hesseth") and tt is
interesting to see how many dif
ferent words are used in our Eng
Hebrew word. It is called "good
ness" (as in Psalm 13:5, Hosea
?d:4); "kindness" (as in Gen.
2'i i.. .Met! a I7>. "pity" in Job
6 ><? -rrei cy" las in Ps 100:5

la? in Psalm 103:4; Hosea J:l#i
All these are in the old King
James Bible More recent transln
tors have used still other words
Every student of the Hebrew Bible
knows that we have here one of
those great words that I* bigger
than any word used to translate
or explain it. The translators of
the Revised Standard Version
have used tor the most part the
expression "steadfast love" to ex
press the deep meaning of this
What God Wants Most
Hosea told Ms people, and he
tells us, that what God want* moot
of Vl la this great thing which
is more than mercy, more than
ktndnsea, something that can best
be expressed In the two words
"steadfast love." Mot sacrifice
and burnt offerings, as it used to
be thought; not anything else we
can think at Just steadfast love.
Then Hooaa puts with this and be
side It something else: "the
knowledge of God." This does not
mean theology out of a book. The j
Hebrew word tor "knowledge"
never meant simply information
about tacts. A person cjould memo
riae aU the facts about a Presi
dent of the United States and still j
not really know Mm. Knowledge ?
to the Bible sense of that word is J
thing. It la to enter In- ;
Into the understanding of ;
to know Mm as tt were ;
God wants of us to- j
as he did and does always, |
mors than anything else, that our I
lives may *ow "steadfast love" j
