1 Thus Yahweh said to me: “Go and buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and put it on your loins, but you must not place it in water.”
2 So I bought the loincloth according to the word of Yahweh and I put it on my loins.
3 Now the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
4 “Take the loincloth that you bought, that is on your loins, and stand up, go to the Euphrates and hide it there in the cleft of the rock.”
5 So I went and hid it by the Euphrates just as Yahweh had commanded me.
6 And then, after a long time, then Yahweh said to me, “Stand up, go to the Euphrates and take from there the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”
