1. Thus Yahweh said to me: “Go and buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and put it on your loins, but you must not place it in water.”
2. So I bought the loincloth according to the word of Yahweh and I put it on my loins.
3. Now the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
4. “Take the loincloth that you bought, that is on your loins, and stand up, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock.”
