## In Jewish tradition

Here it means speaking to the heart, as a husband comforts his wife. God says He will speak kindly to Israel.

**Interpretation.** Hosea's words are read as God's love for Israel as a bride. After punishment He will win her back, as in the wilderness after the Exodus.

### Examples

- Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly unto her. (Prophets HOS.2.16, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/T/tenderly/#x1)
