Read Hosea 2.14-23
In verses 14-15 references to the wilderness, the Valley of Achor, and the land of Egypt recall Israel's deliverance from slavery in Egypt (Ex 1-15), its journey through the wilderness (Ex 16-Num 36),
and its entrance into Canaan (Josh 7.24-26).
In verse 16 Hosea plays on the multiple meanings of the Hebrew word "ba'al": It can be used as a common noun meaning "husband" or "master" or as the name of the Canaanite god Baal.
