Hosea 3
3
Another Symbolic Marriage
1And Yahweh said to me again,
“Go, love a woman
who has a lover#Literally “who is beloved of a friend” and is committing adultery,
just like the love of Yahweh for the children of Israel,
but they are turning to other gods
and love raisin cakes.”
2So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver
and a homer of barely and a measure of wine.#Hebrew “a measure of barley”; the LXX has “a nebel of wine,” although some modern translations, e.g. NASB, have “a homer and a half of barley”
3And I said to her,
“You must remain as mine#Literally “You must sit at home for me” for many days,
and you will not play the whore;
you will not belong#Literally “you will not be” to a man,
and I will belong to you.”
4The children of Israel will remain for many days
without a king and prince,
without sacrifice and stone pillar, ephod and teraphim.
5Afterward the children of Israel will return
and seek Yahweh their God and David their king.
They will come in fear to Yahweh
and to his goodness at the end of days.

Hoshĕa (Hosea) 3
3
1Then יהוה said to me, “Go again, love a woman loved by a friend, and an adulteress, according to the love of יהוה for the children of Yisra’ĕl, though they are turning to other mighty ones and love their raisin cakes.”
2So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver, and one and one-half ḥomers of barley.
3And I said to her, “You are to remain with me many days, you are not to whore, nor become any man’s, and so I shall also be towards you.”
4For many days the children of Yisra’ĕl are to remain without sovereign and without prince, and without slaughtering, and without pillar, and without shoulder garment or house idols.
5Afterward the children of Yisra’ĕl shall return, and seek יהוה their Elohim, and Dawiḏ their sovereign, and fear יהוה and His goodness, in the latter days.
