'Wife' in the Bible

When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to him, “Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and have children of [her] prostitution; for the land commits great acts of prostitution by not following the Lord.”

“Contend with your mother (nation); contend,For she is not my wife and I am not her husband;And have her remove her [marks of] prostitution from her faceAnd her adultery from between her breasts

Now Jacob (Israel) fled into the open country of Aram (Paddan-aram),And [there] Israel (Jacob) worked and served for a wife,And for a wife he kept sheep.
