The builders of the wall who walk after law—the law it is which talks, of which He said: Assuredly they shall talk—are caught by fornication in taking two wives during their lifetime.
2But the fundamental principle of the creation is: 'Male and Female created He them.'
3And they who went into the Ark: 'Two and two went into the Ark.'
4And as to the prince it is written: 'He shall not multiply wives unto himself.'
5But David read not in the Book of the Law that was sealed, which was in the Ark; for it was not opened in Israel from the day of the death of Eleazar and Joshua, and the Elders who served Ashtaroth.
6And it was hidden and was not discovered until Zadok arose.
7Now they glorified the deeds of David save only the blood of Uriah, and God abandoned them to him.
8And they also pollute the Sanctuary since they separate not according to the Law,
9and lie with her who sees the blood of her issue.
10And they take to wife each his brother's daughter or his sister's daughter.
11But Moses said: 'Thou shalt not approach thy mother's sister: she is thy mother's near kin'. So the law of intercourse for males is written, and the same law holds for females; and let not the daughter of the brother uncover the nakedness of the brother of her father: he is near of kin.
12They also polluted their holy spirit and with a tongue of blasphemies they opened the mouth
13against the statutes of the covenant of God, saying: They are not established. But abominations they speak regarding them.
14They are all kindlers of fire and setters aflame of firebrands:
15The webs of spiders are their weavings and the eggs of cockatrices are their eggs:
16He who comes near them shall not be innocent: He that chooseth them shall be held guilty unless he was forced.
17Aforetime God visited their works, and His wrath was kindled because of their devices.
18For it is a people of no understanding: They are a nation void of counsel, because there is no understanding in them.
19For aforetime arose Moses and Aaron through the prince of the Lights. But Belial raised Jochanneh and his brother with his evil device when the former delivered Israel.
