Yahweh said to me, "Go again, love a woman loved by another, and an adulteress, even as Yahweh loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods, and love cakes of raisins."
"Loved of her friend ..." Some have tried to make out that the friend loved by the woman here was her husband; but as Dummelow noted, any such interpretation "involves a clumsy tautology."[1]
