Significance: Hosea 13:6 echoes Deuteronomy 8:12's specific warning against becoming "satisfied" (שָׂבַע, sava') after eating, which leads to forgetting God. Deuteronomy 8:12 warns, "When you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses..." — material fullness as the precursor to spiritual amnesia. Hosea's formulation compresses this: "when they had pasture, they became satisfied... they forgot Me," confirming that Moses' centuries-old warning proved prophetically accurate. The verbal echo demonstrates Hosea's deliberate appeal to Deuteronomic covenant theology: Israel's judgment is not arbitrary but is the working out of blessings and curses explicitly articulated before they entered the land.

Significance: Deuteronomy 8:12 warns that "when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses" (וְאָכַלְתָּ וְשָׂבָעְתָּ, ve'akhalta vesava'ta), Israel's heart will become proud and they will forget the LORD. Hosea 13:6 confirms this prediction was fulfilled: "When they had pasture, they were satisfied (וַיִּשְׂבָּעוּ, vayyisba'u); when they were satisfied, their hearts became proud, and they forgot Me." The shared sequence—eating, satisfaction, pride, forgetting God—constitutes a near-verbatim echo of Moses's warning. Hosea identifies the danger of prosperity-induced amnesia as the very mechanism of Israel's apostasy, vindicating the Deuteronomic prediction that abundance, not scarcity, would prove to be Israel's greatest spiritual threat.
