The Scriptures 1998

Hosea 3:1-3 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. Then יהוה said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by a friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of יהוה for the children of Yisra’ĕl, though they are turning to other mighty ones and love their raisin cakes.”

2. So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and one and one-half ḥomers of barley.

3. And I said to her, “You are to remain with me many days, you are not to whore, nor become any man’s, and so I shall also be towards you.”
