Bloom Where You're Planted, pt 3b

Hosea buys back Gomer for fifteen pieces of silver, and a homer (6 bushels) and a half of barley (3 bushels).

This payment is significant because it represents the price of redemption—just as Hosea redeemed (paid the price for) Gomer, God redeemed (paid the price for) Israel despite their unfaithfulness.
