Hos. 3:1 in context

Hos. 2:23      Hos. 3:2

Hosea 3:1

And the Lord (Yahweh) said to me, "Go again! Love—a woman loved by her friend [Hosea himself] and who commits adultery; as the Lord (Yahweh) loves the sons of Israel even though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes [which were used in Mesopotamian sacrificial rites, see Jer. 44:19]."
[The Hebrew text is deliberately ambiguous. Again can refer to "the Lord says again" (a second time, the first being in Hos. 1:2) or to go and "love again." The word "a woman" may refer to Gomer, or a second wife. However, it is most likely that it refers to Gomer, who abandoned him and was sold as a concubine to another man.]
