Gilead The name "Gilead" refers to a region east of the Jordan River, known for its balm and rugged terrain. In the context of Hosea, Gilead symbolizes a place of spiritual and moral decay. Historically, Gilead was a significant area for the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The Hebrew root of Gilead, "Gil‘ad," can mean "heap of testimony" or "rocky region," which may imply a place that should stand as a testament to God's faithfulness but instead has become a witness to sin. This highlights the tragic transformation from a place of potential blessing to one of corruption. is a city of evildoers tracked with footprints of blood (1) by some as the feminine of the adjective עָקוב, crafty, cunning, wily; thus Rashi explains it: "Gilead is full of people who lie in wait for murder;" and Kimchi likewise has, "Gilead is a city of evil-doers, who are crafty to murder men." But (2) it is rather the Qal Pual participle feminine from עָקַב, to seize the heel of any one, hold, tread in the footsteps, follow, go after; which is the right meaning, viz. "tracked," as given above. We retain the Authorized Version of the first clause of ver. 9, slightly modified, viz. (1) As troops of robbers wait for a man, so is the company of priests; חַכֵּי equivalent to חַכֵּה, wait, being an anomalous form of the infinitive Piel for חַכּוה; thus Kimchi says, "The yod stands in the place of he, and the form is the infinitive." Both Aben Ezra and Kimchi translate the first clause as above; the former beg, "The sense is, As robber-troops wait for a man who is to pass along the way, that they may plunder him, so is (or so does) the company of the priests;" the latter explains, "As troops of robbers wait for a man passing along the way to plunder him, so is the company of priests, he means to say, as the priests of the high places who combine to plunder those who pass along the way.
