Hosea 8:13

‘As for the sacrifices of my offerings,

They sacrifice flesh and eat it,

But YHWH does not accept them,

Now will he remember their iniquity,

And visit their sins,

They will return to Egypt.

And even when their sacrifices were ‘offered to YHWH' and they sacrificed flesh and ate it before Him in a ceremonial meal, YHWH did not accept their sacrifices because they continued sinning without restraint and were treating Him as the equivalent of a nature god. Therefore He would remember their iniquity and visit their sins on them, causing them to ‘return to Egypt'. The idea of ‘returning to Egypt' might be symbolic, indicating that Israel would once more become a slave nation. But we must not forget that Egypt would in fact offer a safe haven for refugees from Assyria, so that we need not doubt that many Israelites fled there, only to find themselves ‘enslaved', or in trying circumstances, once more (see Deuteronomy 28:68).
