Section 42
“ And hear you, Yisra'el, that which Elohim commandeth you to keep; He says, ‘ I am the Yahuah your Elohim Who has brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim and out of the house of bondage. There shall be no other gods besides Me, and you shall not make any Elohim that is graven, and no Elohim that is like what is in the heavens above, or in the earth beneath, or in the water which is under the earth. you shall not bow down to them, and you shall not serve them, for I the Yahuah your Elohim am a jealous Elohim. [I am He] Who visiteth the sin of the father on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, and I perform mercy to a thousand (or, ten thousand) generations of those who love Me and keep My Mitswot. “ you shall not swear a false oath in the Name of the Yahuah your Elohim, for the Yahuah will not hold innocent the man who sweareth a false oath in His Name. “ And observe the day of the Sabbath to sanctify it, even as the Yahuah your Elohim commanded. Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day, the Sabbath of the Yahuah your Elohim, you shall do no work at all, neither thyself, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your servant, nor your ass, nor any beast, nor the stranger that abideth with you. For in six days Elohim made the heavens and the earth, and the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day, and because of this Elohim blessed the seventh day and declared it free [from work]. “ Honour your father and your mother so that may be good to you the many days that you shall find in the land which the Yahuah your Elohim has given you. “ you shall not go with the wife of [another] man. “ you shall not slay a life. “ you shall not commit fornication. you shall not steal. “ you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour. “ you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his house, nor his land, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his cattle, nor his ass, nor any of the beasts that your neighbour has acquired.” This is the word which Elohim has spoken, His Torah and His Ordinance. And those who sin He rebuketh, so that they may not be confirmed in error, and may restrain themselves from the pollution wherewith Elohim is not pleased. And this is the thing with which Elohim is not pleased, and it is right that men should abstain from it. “ No man shall uncover the shame of one with whom he has kinship; for I am the Yahuah your Elohim. The shame of your father and mother you shall not uncover, for it is your mother. you shall not uncover the shame of your father’s wife, for it is the shame of your mother. you shall not uncover the shame of your sister who was begotten by your father or your mother. Whether she was born to him from outside or whether she is a kinswoman of your you shall not uncover her shame. you shall not uncover the shame either of your son’s daughter, or the shame of the daughter of your daughter, for it is your own shame. you shall not uncover the shame of the daughter of your father’s wife, for she is your sister, the daughter of your mother, and you shall not uncover her shame. you shall not uncover the shame of your father’s sister, for she is of your father’s house. you shall not uncover the shame of your mother’s sister, for she is of your mother’s house. you shall not uncover the shame of the wife of your father’s brother, for she is your kin[swoman]. you shall not uncover the shame of your son’s wife, for she is your son’s wife. you shall not uncover the shame of your daughter and the wife of your brother’s son, for it is your own shame. you shall not uncover the shame of your brother’s wife, for it is your brother’s shame as long as your brother lives. you shall not uncover the shame of a woman and that of her daughter, nor that of the daughter of her son, nor that of the daughter of her daughter. you shall not cause their shame to be uncovered; it is your house and it is sin. “ And you shall not take to wife a maiden and her sister so as to make them jealous each of the other, and you shall not uncover their shame, nor the shame of the one or the other as long as the first sister is alive. you shall not go to a menstruous woman, until she is purified, to uncover her shame whilst she is still unclean. And you shall not go to the wife of your neighbour to lie with her, and you shall not let your seed enter her. “ And you shall not vow your children to Moloch to defile the Name of the Qodesh One, the Name of the Yahuah. “ And you shall not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is pollution. “ And you shall not go to a beast and you shall not lie with it so as to make your seed go out upon it, that you mayest not be polluted thereby. And a woman shall not go to a beast to lie with it, for it is pollution. And you shall not pollute yourselves with any of these things, for with them the nations whom I have driven out before you have polluted themselves, and with them you shall not pollute your bodies. “ And sanctify you your souls and your bodies to Elohim, for He is the Qodesh One, and He loveth those who sanctify their souls and their bodies to Him. For He is qodesh, and to be feared, and He is high, and merciful, and compassionate. And to Him praise is meet for ever and ever. Amen.”
