Hos 11:3 | NET2full | STEP | Yet it was I who led Ephraim ; I took them by the arm , but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.

‏ Hosea 11:3

3 Yet it was I who led ^{▼▼tn Or “taught Ephraim to walk” (so ASV, NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV). The verb תִרְגַּלְתִּי (tirgalti, “I taught [him] to walk, I led [him]”; Tiphil perfect first person common singular from רָגַל, ragal, “to walk”) is an unusual verb stem: the Tiphil (properly Taphel) is attested three times in Biblical Hebrew (Hos 11:3; Jer 12:5; 22:15) and once in Biblical Aramaic (Ezra 4:7; see GKC 153 §55.h).} Ephraim;
I took them by the arm,
but they did not acknowledge
that I had healed them. ^{▼▼tn Or “that it was I who had healed them” (NIV and NLT are similar).}
