So I bought her for myself for fifteen pieces of silver and a homer and a half of barley.
and for a homer of barley, [or about eighty-six gallons of barley] and a half homer of barley [animal food, barley]: And I said unto her, You shall abide with me for many days; you shall not play the harlot, and you shall not be for another man: so will I also be for thee ( Hsa Hosea 3:2-3 ).
