Bible Question:
What was the price that Hosea paid for Gomer? 15 shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley. What was their significance. Someeone somewhere said that it was the price of a slave - slave to sin-harlotry and a symbol of Gods payment in full of those He has redeemed...any thoughts? Thanks, Elizabeth |
Bible Answer: God's day to you, Elizabeth, It was the price of a slave, but not specific to sin-harlotry. Tho she was a harlot. The price God paid for our sin and our slavery was much more. S |
