2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a ^ahomer and a lethech ^{▼▼A shekel was about 2/5 ounce or 11 grams; a homer was about 6 bushels or 220 liters; a lethech was about 3 bushels or 110 liters} of barley. 3 And I said to her, “You must ^cdwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you.” 4 For the children of Israel ^dshall dwell many days ^ewithout king or prince, ^fwithout sacrifice or ^gpillar, without ^hephod or ⁱhousehold gods.
