Hosea 8:12

I have written. Not Moses: he was only the pen. It was God who "spoke by the prophets" (Hebrews 1:1); by His Son (John 7:16; John 8:28; John 8:46; John 8:47; John 12:49; John 14:10; John 14:24; John 17:8); by His Spirit (John 16:13. Compare Hebrews 2:4); and by Paul, "the prisoner of Jesus Christ" (compare 2 Timothy 1:8). Note the reference to Pentateuch (Exodus 17:14; Exodus 24:4; Exodus 24:7; Exodus 34:27; Numbers 33:1; Numbers 33:2.Deuteronomy 4:6, &c.) See App-47 and App-92.

great. weighty. Compare Matthew 23:23. Hebrew text reads ribbo = myriad; but rnarg. reads rubbey = multitudes, or manifold, with Septuagint, Syriac, and Vulgate. My law. Not Moses's law.

counted. accounted.

as. strange thing. as something alien or foreign, as modern critics do to-day. This verse necessitates the accessibility of the law in. written form, and gives more than. clue to the date of the Pentateuch. See App-47.
