פירוש על הושע 13:2

And now Jehu’s dynasty, who saw all this, continue to sin.

according to their pattern Heb. כִּתְבוּנָם.

Those who sacrifice man may kiss the calves The priests of Molech say to Israel, “Whoever sacrifices his son to the idol is worthy of kissing the calf” for he has offered him a precious gift. So did our Sages explain this in Sanhedrin (63b), and it fits the wording of the verse better than Jonathan’s translation.
