When Yahweh spoke at the first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery against from Yahweh."
"When Jehovah spake at the first ..." "This resists the attempt of some to place  Hosea 3 before  Hosea 1."[11]  Clearly, the events narrated in this chapter stand first chronologically in Hosea's remarkable marriage.
