When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
All Commentaries on Hosea 11:1 Go To Hosea 11
Richard Challoner
AD 1781
I called my son: Viz., Israel. But as the calling of Israel out of Egypt, was a figure of the calling of Christ from thence; therefore this text is also applicable to Christ, as we learn from Matthew 2. 15.
