1. The Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as the Lord 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 towards you.”
