Hosea, 3

1 And Jehovah went on to say to me: “Go once again, love a woman loved by a companion*1 and committing adultery,*2 as in the case of Jehovah’s love for the sons of Israel while they are turning to other gods*3 and are loving raisin cakes.”

  1. “Loved by a companion,” MVg; LXXSy, “loving bad things.”

  2. Or, “and committing marital sexual unfaithfulness.” Heb., u·mena·ʼaʹpheth; Gr., moi·kha·linʹ; Lat., a·dulʹte·ram. See Mt 5:32 ftn, “Adultery.”

  3. “Gods.” Heb., ʼelo·himʹ.

2 And I proceeded to purchase her for myself for fifteen silver [pieces] and a hoʹmer measure*1 of barley and a half-hoʹmer*2 of barley.

  1. About 220 L (200 dry qt).

  2. “And a half-homer.” Heb., weleʹthekh.

3 Then I said to her: “For many days you will dwell as mine. You must not commit fornication, and you must not come to belong to [another] man;*1 and I also will be for you.”

  1. “For another man,” LXX; M(Heb., leʼishʹ)SyVg, “to a man.”

4 It is because for many days the sons of Israel will dwell without a king and without a prince and without a sacrifice and without a pillar and without an ephʹod and teraphim.

5 Afterwards the sons of Israel will come back and certainly look for Jehovah their God,*1 and for David their king; and they will certainly come quivering to Jehovah and to his goodness in the final part of the days.

  1. “Their God.” Heb., ʼElo·heh·hemʹ.
