Meaning: not having obtained mercy; not pitied · Female · 2 cross references
Lo-ruhamah is Hosea's daughter whose symbolic name announces a season of withheld compassion upon Israel. She belongs to the prophetic sign-family through which Hosea embodies the message he is sent to deliver. First appears in Hos 1:6.1
AI summary: Lo-ruhamah matters because her cross references turn a child's name into a prophetic declaration about covenant judgment. In Hosea she stands inside the painful announcement that mercy will not be presumed, yet the wider prophetic movement of the book leaves room for restoration beyond that sentence. Taken together, the material presents Lo-ruhamah as a living sign of broken relationship and the seriousness of Israel's rebellion.1
