1 Jehovah said to me: »Go again and love a woman beloved by her friend. Love an adulteress, even as Jehovah loves the children of Israel. Though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins for feasts.«2 So I bought her for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer of barley, and a half-homer of barley.3 I said to her: »You will live with me many days. You must not play the harlot commit fornication and you must not be any mans wife. I will also be with you.«
