'Husband' in the Bible

Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her whoredoms out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.

In that day—this is the Lord’s declaration—you will call Me, “My husband,”and no longer call Me, “My Baal.”

Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.”

They have dealt treacherously against the Lord,For they have borne illegitimate (pagan) children.Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land [bringing judgment and captivity].
