Historically, Judah was the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. The mention of Judah here indicates that the message is not only for Israel but also for Judah, emphasizing the unity and shared destiny of God's people. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's covenant with all of Israel, including both kingdoms.<p><b>a harvest is appointed,</b><br>The term "harvest" often symbolizes judgment or blessing in the Bible. In this context, it suggests a time of reckoning or fulfillment of God's promises. Harvest imagery is used throughout Scripture to denote a time when God will gather His people or execute judgment (e.g., <a href="/matthew/13-30.htm">Matthew 13:30</a>, <a href="/revelation/14-15.htm">Revelation 14:15</a>). The appointed harvest for Judah implies a divinely determined time when God will act decisively in their history.<p><b>when I restore My people from captivity.</b><br>This phrase points to a future hope and restoration, likely referring to the return from Babylonian exile. The restoration from captivity is a recurring theme in the prophetic books, symbolizing God's faithfulness and mercy. It also foreshadows the ultimate spiritual restoration through Jesus Christ, who delivers humanity from the captivity of sin. The promise of restoration underscores God's commitment to His covenant and His power to redeem and renew His people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hosea.htm">Hosea</a></b><br>A prophet in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, whose ministry focused on calling Israel to repentance and warning of impending judgment due to their unfaithfulness to God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/judah.htm">Judah</a></b><br>The Southern Kingdom, distinct from the Northern Kingdom of Israel.

In regard of the last clause of the verse, "when I turn the captivity of my people," it is best to unite it with the succeeding chapter. (So Ewald, Reuss, &c.) Some writers (as recently, Nowack) explain the Hebrew word for captivity by a different etymology, and here interpret "destiny," or "fate." The full turning of the captivity cannot be realised till Ephraim and Judah accept the Christ.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/hosea/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee.</span> The subject of <span class="accented">shath</span> is the indeterminate third person, like the French <span class="accented">on</span>, and our "they" or "one." The third person singular masculine, the third person plural, the second person singular masculine, and the passive voice are all used in this way. So here it is: "One hath appointed (set) a harvest for thee," or "a harvest is appointed for thee." The harvest is either recompense or retribution, and thus it is either good or evil, for as a man sows he maps. The context shows that the reaping here is punishment. Judah had sinned like Israel; and, in the case of both, a seed-time of sin produced a harvest of suffering and sorrow. <span class="cmt_word">When I returned</span> (better, <span class="accented">return, or, restore</span>) <span class="accented"><span class="cmt_word"></span>the captivity of my people</span>. The restoration here mentioned is thought <p><span class="note_emph">(1)</span> by some to be the bringing back of the captives; but <p><span class="note_emph">(2)</span> Keil and others, with good reason, understand it to be turning of the captivity, and that figuratively, that is to say, the restoration of his people's well-being. The <span class="accented">shebhuth</span> is the misery of the Hebrew people; the <span class="accented">shubh shebhuth</span>, recovery end restoration of them to their true destroy, But this necessitates a previous purification by punishment: with this Judah, as well as Israel, shall be visited. It is as though God said, "Let not Judah claim superiority over Israel, nor expect to escape Divine judgment more than Israel. Each reaps what he sows. When Israel has received the deserved chastisement, Judah's turn shall then come also." The "turning of captivity" is a formula denoting the restoration of the lost fortune or well-being of a people or person; thus <a href="/job/42-10.htm">Job 42:10</a>, "And the Lord turned the captivity of Job." <p> . . . <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/hosea/6-11.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">Also</span><br /><span class="heb">גַּם־</span> <span class="translit">(gam-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1571.htm">Strong's 1571: </a> </span><span class="str2">Assemblage, also, even, yea, though, both, and</span><br /><br /><span class="word">for you,</span><br /><span class="heb">לָ֑ךְ</span> <span class="translit">(lāḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | second person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> </span><span class="str2"></span><br /><br /><span class="word">O Judah,</span><br /><span class="heb">יְהוּדָ֕ה</span> <span class="translit">(yə·hū·ḏāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun -
