1 Yahweh said to me, “Go again, love a
woman loved by another, and an adulteress,
even as Yahweh loves the children of
Israel, though they turn to other gods, and
love cakes of raisins.”

2 So I bought her for myself for fifteen
pieces of silver and a homer† and a half of
barley.

3 I said to her, “You shall stay with me
many days. You shall not play the prostitute,
and you shall not be with any other
man. I will also be so toward you.”
