TOJB2011 ▾HosheaHoshea 31Then said Hashem unto me, Go again, love an isha (woman, wife) beloved of her re'a (friend, companion) , yet a noefet (adulteress) , just like the ahavat Hashem toward the Bnei Yisroel, who look to elohim acharim, and love heathen religion raisin cakes.2So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of kesef, and for a chomer and a half of se'orim;3And I said unto her, Thou shalt abide with me yamim rabbim and shalt not play the zonah, and thou shalt not be for another ish; and thus will I also towards thee.4For the Bnei Yisroel shall abide yamim rabbim without a melech, and without a sar, and without a zevach, and without a matzevah (stone pillar, monument) and without an ephod (sacred vest used for consulting a deity) , and without teraphim (household idols) ;5Afterward shall the Bnei Yisroel return, and seek Hashem Eloheihem, and Dovid their melech; and shall fear Hashem and His goodness in the acharit hayamim (last days) .Hoshea 2Hoshea 4
