I would have been under the impression that these names were directed by God as a statement regarding his relationship with Judah. Are there particular clues that led you to believe these names are a direct reflection on the paternity of these two children?Lester wrote:...it seems that Hosea was not the father of her second and third child, according to the names he gave them.
It wasn't my idea. But the one name means, Unpitied, and the other, Not my kin. Apparently some people feel that this means they weren't Hosea's children. I felt that would fit the storyline of Hosea and so I picked up on it. In a more technical forum I would have commented more on why I did that.

One of my father's favourite hymns.
