1 The Lord said to me: Go buy yourself a linen loincloth; wear it on your loins, but do not put it in water.
2 I bought the loincloth, as the Lord commanded, and put it on.
3 A second time the word of the Lord came to me thus:
4 Take the loincloth which you bought and are wearing, and go at once to the Perath; hide it there in a cleft of the rock.
