Hosea 3

Buying Back His Wife
1Then Adonai said to me: “Go again! Love a woman who is loved by a companion and committing adultery—just as Adonai has loved the Bnei-Yisrael, while they were turning to other gods and loving raisin cakes.”
2So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and an omer and a half of barley.
3Then I said to her: “For many days you must stay with me. You must not practice prostitution. You must not have a man, and I will be the same toward you.”
4For Bnei-Yisrael will remain for many days without king, without prince, without sacrifice, without sacred pillar, and without ephod or teraphim.
5Afterwards, Bnei-Yisrael will return, and they will seek Adonai their God and David their king. Then they will turn in awe to Adonai and to His goodness in the last days.

Waiting for Restoration
1Then the Lord said to me, “Go again; show love to a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, # Hs 1:2 just as the Lord loves the Israelites though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes.” # 2Sm 6:19; 1Ch 16:3; Sg 2:5
2So I bought her for 15 shekels of silver and five bushels of barley. # LXX reads barley and a measure of wine # Lit silver, a homer of barley, and a lethek of barley # Ru 4:10 3I said to her, “You must live with me many days. Don’t be promiscuous or belong to any man, and I will act the same way toward you.”
4For the Israelites must live many days without king or prince, # Hs 13:10-11 without sacrifice # Dn 9:27; 11:31; 12:11; Hs 2:11 or sacred pillar, # Hs 10:1-2 and without ephod # Ex 28:4-12; 1Sm 23:9-12 or household idols. # Gn 31:19,34; Jdg 17:5; 18:14,17 5Afterward, the people of Israel will return # Jr 50:4-5 and seek the Lord their God and David their king. # Is 11:1-10; Jr 23:5-6; 33:15-16; Ezk 34:24; Rm 11:23 They will come with awe to the Lord # Jr 31:9 and to His goodness in the last days.
