Berea in Hosea 9
buh-REE-uh
This place shows up in Hosea 9:12: “Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Hosea 9:12
“Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!”
