And when Jacob returned and sought her, she said unto him: "I am not clean for thee, for I have been defiled as regards thee; for Reuben hath defiled me, and hath lain with me in the night, and I was asleep, and did not discover until he uncovered my skirt and slept with me. "
And Jacob did not approach her again because Reuben had defiled her. And as for any man who uncovereth his father's skirt his deed is wicked exceedingly, for he is abominable before the Lord.
For this reason it is written and ordained on the heavenly tables that a man should not lie with his father's wife, and should not uncover his father's skirt, for this is unclean: they shall surely die together, 2 the man who lieth with his father's wife and the woman also, for they have wrought uncleanness on the earth.
And again, it is written a second time: "Cursed he be who lieth with the wife of his father, for he hath uncovered his father's shame "; and all the holy ones of the Lord said "So be it; so be it. "
And do thou, Moses, command 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 God.
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.
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.
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.
And do thou, Moses, write (it) down for Israel that they may observe it, and do according to these words, and not commit a sin unto death; 2 for the Lord our God is judge, who respecteth not persons and accepteth not gifts.
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 God.
And there is no greater sin than the fornication which they commit on earth; for Israel is a holy nation unto the Lord its God, and a nation of inheritance, and a priestly and royal nation and for (His own) possession; 4 and there shall no such uncleanness appear in the midst of the holy nation. 2145 A.M. 2145 21 . And in the third year of this sixth week Jacob and all his sons went and dwelt in the A.M. house of Abraham, near Isaac his father and Rebecca his mother.
And in the third year of the sixth week Jacob was journeying with all his sons, and they dwelt at the house of Abraham, near Isaac his father and Rebecca his mother.
