Habakkuk 3:1 [1] The ambiguous wording might be interpreted as referring to a different woman, but this time Hosea is told only to love her, not to take, i.e. marry her. Also, the application of the symbolism to God's relationship with Israel seems to depend upon the woman's being Gomer. The purpose of the ambiguities probably is to reflect the emotional estrangement between Hosea and Gomer and the contempt that she deserved for her behavior. Matthew's anonymous reference to Bathsheba literally as "wife of Uriah" (MAT 1:6).
