1. The Lord told me, “Go and buy a pair of linen shorts. Wear them for a while, but don't wash them.”
2. So I bought a pair of shorts and put them on.
3. Then the Lord said,
4. “Take off the shorts. Go to Parah and hide the shorts in a crack between some large rocks.”
5. And that's what I did.
6. Some time later the Lord said, “Go back and get the shorts.”
7. I went back and dug the shorts out of their hiding place, but the cloth had rotted, and the shorts were ruined.
