Ever since the land of Egypt;
aI will again make you dwell in tents,
As in the days of the appointed feast.
And have multiplied visions;
I have given1 symbols through the witness of the prophets.”
Surely they are1 vanity—
Though they sacrifice bulls in bGilgal,
Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.

Hosea 12:11
In Gilead - Tiglah Pileser had formerly took Gilead among other towns, leading the inhabitants captive. By this the prophet minds the Ephraimites what they must expect, and doth it in this pungent question, Is there iniquity in Gilead? Is it there only? Be it, Gilead was all iniquity; Gilgal is no better. They - They that come up to Gilgal to sacrifice, are idolaters. In the furrows - They are for number like heaps of stones, gathered out of plowed land and laid in furrows.
