In the context of ancient Israel, pasture symbolizes God's provision and care for His people. Historically, Israel's prosperity in the Promised Land is likened to sheep finding abundant pasture. This phrase reminds us of God's faithfulness in providing for His people, drawing a parallel to the spiritual nourishment He offers through His Word and presence.<p><b>they became satisfied</b><br />The Hebrew root "שָׂבַע" (sava) means to be filled or to have enough. Satisfaction here implies a state of contentment and abundance. In a spiritual sense, it reflects the human tendency to become complacent when needs are met. This satisfaction should lead to gratitude and worship, but often it results in spiritual lethargy. The historical context shows that Israel, in times of prosperity, often turned away from God, forgetting the source of their blessings.<p><b>when they were satisfied</b><br />This repetition emphasizes the cycle of satisfaction leading to forgetfulness. It serves as a warning against the dangers of self-reliance and pride. The satisfaction that should have led to thanksgiving instead became a precursor to spiritual decline. This pattern is evident throughout Israel's history, where periods of peace and prosperity often led to idolatry and rebellion against God.<p><b>their hearts became proud</b><br />The Hebrew word for "proud" is "גָּבַהּ" (gavah), meaning to be high or exalted. Pride is a central theme in the Bible, often leading to downfall. In this context, pride is the result of forgetting God's role in their prosperity. The heart, in Hebrew thought, represents the center of will and emotion. A proud heart is one that elevates itself above God, leading to a false sense of security and independence.<p><b>and as a result, they forgot Me</b><br />Forgetting God is a recurring issue in the Old Testament, where "שָׁכַח" (shakach) means to forget or ignore. This forgetfulness is not merely a lapse in memory but a deliberate neglect of God's commandments and presence. Historically, Israel's forgetfulness led to idolatry and moral decay. Spiritually, it serves as a cautionary tale for believers to remain vigilant in their relationship with God, continually remembering His deeds and maintaining a posture of humility and dependence.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hosea/13.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) <span class= "bld">According to their pasture</span>.--Rather, <span class= "ital">As they pastured</span>.

The reference is rather to the care in pasturing than to the pasture-ground. By God's care to the sheep of his pasture they waxed full. <span class="cmt_word">They were filled, and their heart was exalted.</span> Two consequences followed from God's great goodness to Israel - the immediate consequence was pride of heart; the more remote was forgetfulness of God. Perhaps these results should rather be regarded as concurrent, being in point of time simultaneous or nearly so. <span class="cmt_word">Therefore have they forgotten me.</span> This forgetfulness of God is identified with the abandonment of his worship in the Chaldee Version, which is, "They have abandoned my service." The metaphor contained in this verse is taken from a domestic animal, which, in a too luxuriant pasture, becomes headstrong and unmanageable. Thus Rash: "As soon as they came into the land of their pasture, they were filled." The last clause of the verse notices the misuse which Israel made of the riches and blessing of Jehovah, by forgetting their gracious Benefactor; this the prophet attributes to the abuse of the blessings so richly bestowed upon them. Aben Ezra identifies the blessings here mentioned with those vouchsafed to them on their entrance into Canaan; thus: "The prophet enumerates the benefits which Jehovah bestowed on their fathers when they came out of the wilderness into the land of Canaan." Kimchi quotes, as a parallel to this passage, <a href="/deuteronomy/8.htm">Deuteronomy 8</a>, of which it is undoubtedly a reminiscence; he says, "When they entered into the place of their pasture, and it was the land of Canaan, they had all good, and were filled; and their heart was exalted, and they forgot me, as it is said in the Thorah that they were ready to do so. He said, 'Lest when thou hast eaten and art full... then thine heart be lifted up, and then forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt... who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness... who fed thee in the wilderness.'" <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hosea/13-6.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">When they had pasture,</span><br /><span class="heb">כְּמַרְעִיתָם֙</span> <span class="translit">(kə·mar·‘î·ṯām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-k | Noun -
