The "it" refers to the golden calf idol of Samaria, which was a central object of worship in the Northern Kingdom of Israel. The act of carrying it to Assyria symbolizes the defeat and humiliation of Israel. Historically, Assyria was a dominant empire during Hosea's time, known for its military prowess and expansionist policies. The carrying away of the idol signifies the loss of Israel's autonomy and the futility of their idolatry.<p><b>as tribute to the great king</b><br />The "great king" refers to the Assyrian monarch, likely Shalmaneser V or Sargon II, who were known for demanding tributes from conquered peoples. In the ancient Near Eastern context, paying tribute was a sign of subjugation and acknowledgment of the superior power of the conqueror. This phrase underscores the humiliation of Israel, as their idol, once a source of false pride, becomes a mere object of tribute to a foreign ruler.<p><b>Ephraim will be seized with shame</b><br />Ephraim, representing the largest and most influential tribe of the Northern Kingdom, is used here as a synonym for Israel. The Hebrew root for "shame" (בּוּשׁ, "bush") conveys a deep sense of disgrace and dishonor. This shame arises from the realization of their misplaced trust in idols and the subsequent consequences. The prophetic message is clear: reliance on anything other than God leads to inevitable shame and downfall.<p><b>Israel will be ashamed of its wooden idols</b><br />The phrase highlights the irony and futility of idol worship. The "wooden idols" are a stark contrast to the living God of Israel. In the Hebrew context, idols were often crafted from wood and overlaid with precious metals, yet they were powerless and lifeless. The shame of Israel is compounded by the recognition that these idols, which they revered and trusted, could not save them from destruction. This serves as a powerful reminder of the first commandment and the call to exclusive worship of Yahweh.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hosea/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(6) Translate, <span class= "ital">Even that</span> (<span class= "ital">i.e.,</span> the calf) <span class= "ital">shall be carried</span> (in triumphant state) <span class= "ital">to Assyria, an offering to King Jareb.</span> (See <a href="/hosea/5-13.htm" title="When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.">Hosea 5:13</a>, <span class= "ital">Excursus.</span>)<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hosea/10.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 6.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">It shall he also carried unto Assyria for a present to King Jareb</span>. Here we have an explanation and confirmation of what has just been said in the preceding verse. The calf, the glorious and magnificent national god, as Israel considered it, is brought to Assyria, and there offered as a present to the Assyrian king. The word <span class="accented">gam</span> is emphatic; that is, "it also," "itself also," or "it also with men and other spoils" - the golden idol of Beth-aven. Kimchi's explanation of <span class="accented">gam</span> is as follows: "Genesis, extension or generalization of the term, refers to the glory he bad mentioned. He says, 'Lo, in its place the glory shall depart from it as soon as they shall break it. <span class="accented">Also</span>, the stump of the calf, namely, the gold thereon, after its form is broken, they shall take away as a present to King Jareb.'" The sign of the accusative with suffix <span class="hebrew">אוחו</span>, which here stands before a passive verb, may be taken either <p><span class="note_emph">(1)</span> absolutely, "<span class="accented">as</span> to it also," "<span class="accented">it</span> shall be brought ;" or <p><span class="note_emph">(2)</span> as an instance of anacoluthon; or <p><span class="note_emph">(3)</span>, according to Gesenius, the passive may be regarded as an impersonal active, and thus it may take the object of the action in the accusative. The word <span class="accented">yubhal</span> is from <span class="accented">yabhal</span>, primarily used of flowing in a strong and violent stream, and so the root of <span class="hebrew">מַבּול</span>, the flood; then it signifies "to go," "to be brought or carried." The <span class="accented">minchah</span> here spoken of cannot well mean tribute, but is rather a gift of homage to the Assyrian conqueror, whom the prophet m vision sees already wasting the land of Israel and carrying away all its treasures and precious things. <span class="cmt_word">Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.</span> The feminine form, <span class="hebrew">בָשְׁנָה</span> - of which <span class="hebrew">נּשֶׁן</span>, the masculine, by analogy, is not in use - is wrongly explained by the Hebrew expositors as having a pleonastic <span class="accented">nun</span>.
