burning by
fire). with his daughter-in-law or
with his mother-in-law hath
wrought uncleanness; with fire
let them burn the man who
hath lain with her, and likewise
the woman, and He will turn
away wrath and punishment

that his two sons had not lain
with her, and for this reason
his seed was established for a
second generation, and would

with fire.
And it came to pass when they brought her forth
to burn her that she sent to her father-in-law the
ring and the necklace, and the staff, saying: “Discern
whose are these, for by him am I with child.”
