20.17 Qui acceperit sororem suam, etc. ISICH. Hoc tolerabile videbatur, quia Abraham de Sara dicit: Soror mea est ex patre, et non ex matre: sed eos qui de Thare patre Abraham geniti sunt Moyses enumerans, nusquam Saræ fecit mentionem. Quod si sorori suæ Abraham nupsit, ante tamen hoc quam Deum cognosceret, fecit. Bene ergo lex talem conjunctionem prohibuit. Qui acceperit, etc. Tropologice turpitudinem sororis ex patre et non ex matre videt et accipit, qui turpem actionem a patre vel a matre in qua scilicet deliquerunt admiratur, et imitatur: non solum perscrutans quæ non oportuit, sed conjungens se parentum pravitati quæ soror ejus dicitur, quasi ab eisdem genita parentibus. Quia vero filii publicant parentum peccata faciendo similia, recte in conspectu populi infligitur pœna; vel juxta LXX: In conspectu filiorum generis sui, eorum scilicet qui talia cogitant imitari: ut unius afflictio, multorum sit correctio. Viderit turpitudinem, etc. AUG., quæst. 75. Id est, concumbendo cognoverit, sicut ibi: Cognovit Adam uxorem suam Gen. 4., id est, ei mistus est. Quod autem ait: Portabunt iniquitatem suam, id est, ipsum peccatum pœna erat.

20.17 Who acceperit sororem his_own, etc. ISICH. Hoc tolerabile videbatur, because Abraham about Sara dicit: Soror mea it_is ex patre, and not/no ex matre: but them who about Thare patre Abraham geniti are Moyses enumerans, nusquam Saræ fecit mentionem. That when/but_if sorori suæ Abraham nupsit, ante tamen hoc how God cognosceret, fecit. Bene ergo lex talem conyunctionem prohibuit. Who acceperit, etc. Tropologice turpitudinem sororis ex patre and not/no ex matre videt and accipit, who turpem actionem a patre or a matre in which scilicet deliquerunt admiratur, and imitatur: not/no solum perscrutans which not/no oportuit, but conyungens se parentum pravitati which soror his it_is_said, as_if away eisdem genita parentibus. Quia vero children publicant parentum sins faciendo similia, recte in conspectu populi infligitur pœna; or yuxta LXX: In conspectu filiorum generis sui, eorum scilicet who talia cogitant imitari: as unius afflictio, multorum sit correctio. Viderit turpitudinem, etc. AUG., quæst. 75. Id it_is, concumbendo cognoverit, like ibi: Cognovit Adam wife suam Gen. 4., id it_is, to_him mistus est. That however ait: Portabunt iniquitatem his_own, id it_is, ipsum peccatum pœna was.
