A man may not marry his father’s wife, and may not expose the edge of his father’s garment.

A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.

A man shall not take his father's wife [(Marriage does not "take" in her)], and he shall not uncover his father's lap [i.e., a woman who awaits his father for levirate marriage (shomereth yavam). One who lies with his father's shomereth yavam is hereby made subject to two negative commandments — this and Leviticus 18:14. And the juxtaposition with verse 3 indicates that only the issue of kareth relationships (like that of a shomereth yavam) is a mamzer — a fortiori, the issue of those relationships punishable by death, all such relationships being punishable by kareth (in the absence of warning)].

One may not enter—with injured or crushed genitals or with a gash causing spilling—into Adonoy’s community.

He that is wounded in the stones, or has his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

A petzua dakkah [one whose testicles have been maimed or crushed] and a keruth shafchah [one whose membrum is cut, so that the sperm is not ejected but drips, obviating conception] shall not come into the congregation of the L-rd.

A base-born may not enter into Adonoy’s community, even his tenth generation may not enter into Adonoy’s community.

A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

A mamzer (see 1) shall not come into the congregation of the L-rd [i.e., he may not marry an Israelite woman]. Even the tenth generation shall not come for him into the congregation of the L-rd.

[Neither] an Ammonite nor a Moavite may enter into Adonoy’s community; even their tenth generation may not enter into Adonoy’s community forever.

An ῾Ammonite or a Mo᾽avite shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the Lord for ever:

An Ammonite and a Moavite shall not come into the congregation of the L-rd [i.e., they may not marry Israelite women]. Even the tenth generation shall not come for them into the congregation of the L-rd, forever.

Because of the matter that they did not greet you with bread and water on the way when you came out of Egypt; and because he hired against you Bilam son of Beor from Pesor in Aram Naharayim to curse you.

because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when you came out of Miżrayim; and because they hired against thee Bil῾am, the son of Be῾or, from Petor of Aram-naharayim to curse thee.

Because of the word [i.e., the counsel which they gave to entice you into sin, and] because they did not go out before you with bread and water [when you were spent] on the way when you came out of Egypt, and because he hired against you Bilam the son of Beor from Pethor, Aram Naharayim, to curse you.

Adonoy, your God, was unwilling to heed Bilam, and Adonoy, your God, turned for you the curse into a blessing, because Adonoy, your God, loved you.

But the Lord thy God would not hearken to Bil῾am; but the Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee.

And the L-rd your G-d did not desire to heed Bilam, and the L-rd your G-d turned the curse into a blessing for you, for the L-rd your G-d loved you.

Do not pursue their peace and their benefit all your life forever.

Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.

You shall not seek their peace and their good all of your days, forever [(as opposed to 17 below)].

Do not despise the Edomite, for he is your brother; do not despise the Egyptian, for you were a stranger in his land.

Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor a Miżrian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.

You shall not [entirely] abominate an Edomi [even though he came out with a sword against you (Numbers 20:18-20)], for he is your brother. You shall not [entirely] abominate an Egyptian, [even though they cast your males into the Nile], for you were a stranger in his land [and they were your hosts in your extremity].

Children who will be born to them, in the third generation, will enter into Adonoy’s community.

The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of the Lord in their third generation.

Children which will be born to them, the third generation, shall come for them into the congregation of the L-rd, [and the other nations are permitted immediately — whence it is seen that one who causes a Jew to sin (4) is worse than one who kills him, the latter killing him only in this world, but the former removing him from both worlds.]

When you go out to encamp against your enemies take precautions from every evil thing.

When thou goest out to encamp against thy enemies, then keep thee from every evil thing.

When you go out as an encampment against your enemies, then you shall guard yourself against every evil thing, [the Satan "prosecuting" in time of danger.]

If there is a man among you who is not undefiled [because of] a nocturnal incident; he must go out of the camp, he may not enter into the midst of the camp.

If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chances by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:

If there be among you a man who shall not be clean because of a nocturnal accident [(Scripture speaks of the common instance)], then he shall go outside the camp [(a positive commandment)]; he shall not come into the midst of the camp [(a negative commandment. He may not enter the camp of the Levites — a fortiori, the camp of the Shechinah.]

As sunset nears he is to immerse in water; and after the sun has set he may enter the the midst of the camp.

but it shall be, when evening comes on, he shall bathe himself in water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.

And it shall be towards evening that he shall bathe in water [(He should immerse himself close to sunset, for he is not clean until sunset)], and when the sun sets, he may come into the midst of the camp.

Have a designated place outside the camp, and you will go out there to excrete.

Thou shalt have a place also outside the camp, where thou shalt withdraw thyself:

And a place shall there be for you outside the camp [outside of the cloud of glory], and you shall go out there, outside.

And a peg are you to have in addition to your weapons; when you need to sit to excrete dig with it, then use it again to cover your excrement.

and thou shalt have a spade among thy weapons, and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself outside, thou shalt dig with it, and shalt turn back and cover thy excrement:

And you shall have a spade, aside from your other implements, and it shall be, when you sit outside, that you shall dig with it, and you shall turn back and cover your excrement.

For Adonoy, your God, is moving within your camp to save you and to defeat your enemies before you, so your camp must be holy; let Him not see within you disgraceful objects lest He turn away from you.

for the Lord thy God walks in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thy enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.

For the L-rd your G-d walks in the midst of your camp to save you and to deliver your foes before you. And let your camp be holy, that He not see in you a thing of nakedness and turn away from you.

Do not deliver a slave to his master, who escaped to you from his master.

Thou shalt not deliver to his master the servant who is escaped from his master to thee:

You shall not hand over a slave [of the nations] to his master, who escaped to you from his master.

With you will he live among you, in the place that he chooses in any of your cities, wherever it is good for him; do not distress him.

he shall dwell with thee, among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it likes him best: thou shalt not oppress him.

With you shall he dwell, in your midst, in the place that he chooses, in one of your gates where it is good for him; you shall not oppress him.

There is not to be a harlot from the daughters of Yisroel; and there shall not be a male prostitute from the sons of Yisroel.

There shall be no female prostitute of the daughters of Yisra᾽el, nor a male prostitute of the sons of Yisra᾽el.

There shall be no harlot from the daughters of Israel, and there shall be no harlot [for sodomy] from the sons of Israel.

Do not bring a harlot’s fee or payment for a dog to the house of Adonoy, your God, in fulfillment of any vow; because Adonoy, your God’s abominations are even both of them.

Thou shalt not bring the hire of a prostitute, or the price of a dog, into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for both these are abomination to the Lord thy God.

You shall not bring the hire of a prostitute [(If one gave her a lamb as her hire, it is unfit for sacrifice)] and the exchange of a dog [i.e., a lamb exchanged for a dog] into the house of the L-rd your G-d for every vow; for the abomination of the L-rd your G-d are also both (shneihem). [Shinuyeihem ("their changes," e.g., wheat converted into flour) are also included as forbidden.]

You may not pay usury to your brother, usury on money, usury on food; usury on any matter where it is paid.

Thou shalt not give interest to thy brother; interest of money, interest of foodstuff, interest of anything that is lent upon interest;

You shall not give interest to your brother [(an exhortation to the borrower not to give interest to the lender (and see Leviticus 25:37)]: interest of money, interest of food, interest of any thing that can be (construed as) interest.

You may pay usury to the stranger, but to your brother do not pay usury; in order that Adonoy, your God, will bless you in all your commerce on the land that you are coming there to inherit.

to a stranger thou mayst give interest; but to thy brother thou shalt not give interest: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all that thou settest thy hand to in the land into which thou goest to possess it.

To the stranger shall you give interest [and not to your brother (a negative commandment inferred from a positive commandment, hence, a positive commandment — making him liable, in sum, for transgression of two negative commandments, (what follows and 20 above) and a positive commandment)]; but to your brother shall you not give interest, so that the L-rd your G-d will bless you in all to which you put your hand on the land whither you are coming to inherit it.

If you make a vow to Adonoy, your God, do not delay in discharging it; for Adonoy, your God, will surely demand it from you, and you will be at fault.

When thou shalt vow a vow to the Lord thy God, thou shalt not be slack to pay it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.

If you make a vow to the L-rd your G-d, you shall not delay [beyond the space of three festivals] to pay it; for the L-rd your G-d will require it of you and it will be a sin in you.

But if you desist from vowing, no fault will be found with you.

But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.

But if you forbear to vow, it will not be a sin in you.

Keep what you have articulated; and perform whatever you vow; to Adonoy, your God, voluntarily—whatever you say with your mouth.

That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; according as thou hast vowed of thy freewill to the Lord thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.

What issues from your lips shall you observe and you shall do, as you vowed to the L-rd your G-d, the pledge that you spoke with your mouth.

When you enter your fellow’s vineyard, you may eat grapes as you desire, to your satisfaction; but you may not place it in your container.

When thou comest into thy neighbour’s vineyard, then thou mayst eat thy fill of grapes at thy desire; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.

If you [a worker] come into the vineyard of your neighbor, you may eat grapes as [much as] you desire, to satiety [but not overmuch], but into your (own) vessel you shall not place (any). [Scripture is speaking of harvest time, when the worker places (grapes) into the owner's vessel.]

When you enter your fellow’s standing grainstalks, you may cut off stalks by hand, but do not lift a sickle over your fellow’s standing grainstalks.

When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayst pluck the ears with thy hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle to thy neighbour’s standing corn.

If you [a worker] come into the standing corn of your neighbor, then you may pluck ears with your hand; but you shall not lift a sickle upon your neighbor's standing corn.
