YAHWEH said to me, “Go again to her. Love her and demonstrate love to your wife again even though she has another lover. Love the adulteress with the same love that I, YAHWEH, have for the adulterous Israelites who turn to other gods and love to give offerings to their idols.” So I negotiated to buy her for the bride-price of fifteen shekels of silver and nine bushels of barley. And I said to her, “Your sinful life is now over, and you must stay with me in my home for many days. You will no longer commit adultery by giving yourself to another man, and I will remain faithful to you in the same way.” For the Israelites will have to spend many days deprived of political leaders, outward forms of religion, and the means of foretelling the future.
