EIGHTH CENTURY B. C. 129 tifying this degraded worship of Yahveh with the Canaan- ite worship of Baal, he does not hesitate to call the idols of the national god Baalim, and the service thus rendered to Yahveh, Baal service.^ This identification was the more intelligible because of the still prevalent usage of addressing Yahveh as Baal. If, in some passages, Hosea charges his contemporaries with the direct worship of other gods, including the actual Canaanite Baal, it is still significant that,... whether he is referring to the de- based service of Yahveh or to the worship of alien divi- nities, it is in either case the image-worship as such against which his chief indignation is directed.
It is useful to mark the stage of development at which Hosea has arrived in the purification of religious thought in this important matter. He plainly recognizes that an image is a mere combination of wood and gold, and therefore lifeless and undivine; but he does not defi- nitely say either that the idol was an image of Yahveh, or that it is impious and idle to represent or symbolize Yahveh in material forms.
