Sinai & The Law

and any man of the sons of Israel, or of the sojourners, who is sojourning in your midst, who hunteth venison, beast or fowl, which is eaten--hath even poured out its blood, and hath covered it with dust;

for it is the life of all flesh, its blood is for its life; and I say to the sons of Israel, Blood of any flesh ye do not eat, for the life of all flesh is its blood; any one eating it is cut off.

`And any person who eateth a carcase or torn thing, among natives or among sojourners--hath both washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been unclean until the evening--then he hath been clean;

and if he wash not, and his flesh bathe not--then he hath borne his iniquity.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, I am Jehovah your God;

according to the work of the land of Egypt in which ye have dwelt ye do not, and according to the work of the land of Canaan whither I am bringing you in, ye do not, and in their statutes ye walk not.

`My judgments ye do, and My statutes ye keep, to walk in them; I am Jehovah your God;

and ye have kept My statutes and My judgments which man doth and liveth in them; I am Jehovah.

`None of you unto any relation of his flesh doth draw near to uncover nakedness; I am Jehovah.

`The nakedness of thy father and the nakedness of thy mother thou dost not uncover, she is thy mother; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

`The nakedness of the wife of thy father thou dost not uncover; it is the nakedness of thy father.

`The nakedness of thy sister, daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, born at home or born without; thou dost not uncover their nakedness.

`The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's daughter: thou dost not uncover their nakedness; for theirs is thy nakedness.

`The nakedness of a daughter of thy father's wife, begotten of thy father, she is thy sister; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

`The nakedness of a sister of thy father thou dost not uncover; she is a relation of thy father.

`The nakedness of thy mother's sister thou dost not uncover; for she is thy mother's relation.

`The nakedness of thy father's brother thou dost not uncover; unto his wife thou dost not draw near; she is thine aunt.

`The nakedness of thy daughter-in-law thou dost not uncover; she is thy son's wife; thou dost not uncover her nakedness.

`The nakedness of thy brother's wife thou dost not uncover; it is thy brother's nakedness.

`The nakedness of a woman and her daughter thou dost not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter thou dost not take to uncover her nakedness; they are her relations; it is wickedness.

`And a woman unto another thou dost not take, to be an adversary, to uncover her nakedness beside her, in her life.

`And unto a woman in the separation of her uncleanness thou dost not draw near to uncover her nakedness.

`And unto the wife of thy fellow thou dost not give thy seed of copulation, for uncleanness with her.

`And of thy seed thou dost not give to pass over to the Molech; nor dost thou pollute the name of thy God; I am Jehovah.
