a.dah describes adorning oneself or another, whether with ornaments, clothing, beauty, or honor.

The attested forms chiefly occur in clauses about adorning persons: with jewelry and ornaments, with clothing and bridal articles, or with pride, splendor, and glory. In Hosea 2:15, the surrounding clause concerns answering as in earlier days, but the specific contribution of the form is not clear from the translation.

1. To adorn a person or oneself · dominant

   In Ezekiel 16:11, the first-person common singular Qal sequential imperfect occurs in the clause that the APB renders “I adorned you with jewelry,” followed by bracelets and a necklace. The Qal forms also occur where the APB renders self-adornment with ornaments in Ezekiel 23:40, gold ornament in Jeremiah 4:30, tambourines in Jeremiah 31:4, and bridal articles in Isaiah 61:10; Job 40:10 places the imperative in a command concerning pride, splendor, and glory. Hosea 2:15 supplies a third-person feminine singular sequential imperfect, though the APB's surrounding rendering does not isolate its contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly uses “adorned,” “adorns herself,” or “adorn yourself” in the relevant clauses, while Ezekiel 23:40 says “put on ornaments” and Isaiah 61:10 says a bride “adorns herself with her articles.” Hosea 2:15 does not provide a clear English rendering for the form.
