Chapter 14

Love Thy Heart


1

Thou shalt not commit adulterya with the wife of another man; even he that committeth adultery with the wife of their neighbor, the adulterer and the adulteress, if it be that she was willing, shall surely be stonedb;

2

And the man that lieth with his the wife of his father hath uncovered the nakednessa of his father; he shall surely be put to death; his own blood shall be upon him.

3

And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, and it so be that she was willing, both of them shall surely be put to death; they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.

4

But if these should seek restitution, and walk in teshuvaha, they may be cast out from among the congregation for a time, to prove themselves; and then they return and be one in Israel again; I am YHVHa, thy Elohimb.

5

¶ And if a man shall take his sister, his father's daughter or his mother's daughter, and see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a wicked thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of their people; he hath uncovered his sister's nakedness; he shall bear his iniquity.

6

For thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's sister nor of thy father's sister; for they uncovereth their near kin; they shall bear their iniquity.

7

And if a man shall lie with the wife of his uncle, and she be willing, then he hath uncovered the nakedness of his uncle; they shall bear their sin and shall diea childless.

8

And if a man shall take the wife of his brother, and she be willing, it is an unclean thing; he hath uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall bea childless; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

9

¶ And if a man takea a wife and her mother, it is wickedness; they shall be removed from the congregation, both he and they, that there be no wickedness among you.

10

But if a man also lie with a young boya, as a man would lieth with a woman, he hath committed an abomination; and that man shall surely be put to death; his own blood shall be upon him.

11

Thou shalt not lie lie with the dead or defile them; it is abomination; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

12

¶ Thou shalt, therefore, keep all my statutesa and all my judgments and do them, that the land, whither I bring thee to dwell therein, spew you not out.

13

And thou shall not walk in the manners of the nation which I cast out before thee; for they committed all these things; and, therefore, I abhorred them.

14

Therefore, thou shall cast out from the Congregation all they that would pervert Israel that thou be holy, even as I am holy; I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought you out of the land of Egypt and thou shall not pollute the land that I shall give unto thee.
