Hosea 3:2 meaning and explanation
So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.
Hosea 3:2, Berean Standard Bible

The price he pays, fifteen shekels of silver plus a homer and a lethech of barley, is modest, roughly the value of a common servant under Old Testament law, and the barley suggests he may have had to gather the payment in kind.
