“Where
there is no
law there
is no transgression”
(Rom. 4:15).
the children of Israel that
they observe this word; for it
(entaileth) a punishment of
death; and it is unclean, and
there is no atonement for ever
to atone for the man who hath
committed this, but he is to
be put to death and slain, and
stoned with stones, and rooted
out from the midst of the
people of our Elohim.
14 For to no man who doeth
so in Israel is it permitted to
remain alive a single day on
the earth, for he is abominable
and unclean. 15 And let them
not say: to Reuben was granted
life and forgiveness after he
had lain with his father’s
concubine, and to her also
though she had a husband,
and her husband Jacob, his
father, was still alive. 16 For
until that time there had not
been revealed the ordinance
and judgment and law in its
completeness for all, but in thy
days (it hath been revealed) as
a law of seasons and of days,
and an everlasting law for
the everlasting generations.
17 And for this law there is
no consummation of days,
and no atonement for it, but
they must both be rooted out
in the midst of the nation:
on the day whereon they
committed it they shall slay
them. 18 And do thou, Moses,
S I N
write (it) down for Israel that
they may observe it, and do
according to these words,
and not commit a sin unto
death; for Yahuah our Elohim
is judge, who respecteth not
persons and accepteth not
gifts. 19 And tell them these
words of the covenant, that
they may hear and observe,
and be on their guard with
respect to them, and not be
destroyed and rooted out of
the land; for an uncleanness,
and an abomination, and
a contamination, and a
pollution are all they who
commit it on the earth
before our Elohim. 20 And
there is no greater sin than
the fornication which they
commit on earth; for Israel
is a holy nation unto Yahuah
its Elohim, and a nation of
inheritance, and a priestly and
royal nation and for (His own)
possession; and there shall no
such uncleanness appear in
the midst of the holy nation.
21 And in the third year of
this sixth week Jacob and all
his sons went and dwelt in
the house of Abraham, near
Isaac his father and Rebecca
his mother. 22 And these
were the names of the sons of
Jacob: the first-born Reuben,
Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar,
Zebulon, the
