2So I purchased her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver, and a About 7.7 cubic feet or 0.22 cubic metershomer and a About 3.8 cubic feet or 0.11 cubic meterslethech of barley.
3Then I said to her, “You shall live with me for many days. You shall not play the prostitute, nor shall you have another man; so I will also be toward you.”
