thus to say LORD to(wards) me to go: went and to buy to/for you girdle flax and to set: put him upon loin your and in/on/with water not to come (in): come him

2 So I went and bought a loincloth as the Lord had instructed me, and I put it on.

3 Then the Lord gave me another message:

8 Then a message from the Lord came to me:
