Or, bought ^F14 a linen one, as directed: according to the word of the Lord;

Yirmeyah 13:2 In-Context

1 3 Thus saith Hashem unto me, Go and buy thee a linen [i.e., priestly] ezor (belt) and put it around thy waist, and put it not in mayim.

2 So I bought the ezor (belt) according to the Devar Hashem, and put it around my waist.

3 And the Devar Hashem came unto me the second time, saying,

4 Take the ezor that thou hast bought, which is around thy waist, and arise, go to Parah (Josh 18:23 [Hebrew for Euphrates is Perat]), and hide it there in a cleft of the rock.

5 So I went, and hid it in Parah, as Hashem commanded me.
