1. Thus saith Hashem unto me, Go and buy thee a linen [i.e., priestly] ezor (belt) and put it around thy waist, and put it not in mayim.
2. So I bought the ezor (belt) according to the Devar Hashem, and put it around my waist.
3. And the Devar Hashem came unto me the second time, saying,
4. Take the ezor that thou hast bought, which is around thy waist, and arise, go to Parah (Josh 18:23 [Hebrew for Euphrates is Perat]), and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
